Describe the early evolution of the Earth and solar system, including the formation of Earth’s solid layers (core, mantle, crust), the distribution of major elements, the origin of internal heat sources, and the mechanism by which heat transfer drives plate tectonics.
Explain how the composition of the Earth’s crust, mantle and core is determined and compare it to that of other solar system objects.
Describe how the decay of radioactive isotopes is used to determine the age of rocks, Earth, and solar system.
Describe how the Earth acquired its initial oceans and atmosphere.
Identify the transformations and major reservoirs that make up the rock cycle, hydrologic cycle, carbon cycle, and other important geochemical cycles.
