• Sketch, label, and describe aspects of how Earth’s surface and atmosphere interact with solar energy
(1.3).
Internal energy - comes from within the Earth and includes heat energy trapped from radioactive decay.
Ex: mountain building and melting of rocks to produce volcanoes and magma.
External energy - most significant source is the Sun - this resulting temperature difference helpdrive wind
and ocean currents. Thermal and electromagnetic energy.
• Sketch, label, and describe the three types of diagrams geologists use to represent subsurface geology
(block diagram, cross section, stratigraphic section). Also, sketch, label, and describe what is shown by a
series of evolutionary diagrams (1.8C).
