Big Ideas
- A change to one part of Earth's surface can lead to feedbacks that cause changes in other Earth systems.
- Analyzing geoscience data helps us understand the interconnectedness and dynamics of Earth's systems.
Essential Questions
- How can a single change to Earth's surface lead to changes in other Earth systems?
- What types of feedbacks can occur between the Earth's surface and its systems?
- How can geoscience data be used to identify and explain feedbacks within the Earth system?
- Why is understanding feedbacks in Earth systems important for understanding Earth's changing environment?
- In what ways do human activities alter feedbacks among Earth's systems?
