Identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in a landscape over time.
Clarification statement: Examples of evidence from patterns could include rock layers with marine shell fossils above rock layers with plant fossils and no shells, indicating a change from land to water over time; tilted rock layers indicate past crustal movement; glacial scratches on rock formations indicating glacier movement; and, a canyon with different rock layers in the walls and a river in the bottom, indicating that over time a river cut through the rock.
Assessment boundary: Assessment does not include specific knowledge of the mechanism of rock formation or memorization of specific rock formations and layers. Assessment is limited to relative time.
