Students should be able to analyze field and laboratory evidence and construct an explanation for the various structures produced in convergent continental and oceanic plate boundaries.
Interpret the tectonic history of an area based on the sequences, structures, and type of rocks found in that area; compare the tectonic activity of the east coast and the west coast of North America.
Interpret landforms, water features, elevation and elevation changes, and other pertinent features on topographic maps; construct profiles from topographic contours.
Integrate the rock cycle with plate tectonics theory and determine how this is reflected in the geology of Virginia’s five physiographic/geologic provinces.
