This graphic organizer may be used to help students analyze the processes and components of Earth System phenomena.

Helping students build their understanding of Earth's spheres and how they are connected is difficult.  Review the graphics to help identify the parts of the Earth System and the processes that connect them at the local, regional, and global scales.

Watch NASA videos about aerosols and volcanic ash.

Students will review the NASA Space Place video, "Tectonic Forces", and answer questions about tectonic plates.
