ESS.1.2: The surface of Earth changes due to weathering.
ESS.1.2.a: Rocks change shape, size and/or form due to water or ice movement, freeze and thaw, wind, plant growth, gases in the air, pollution and catastrophic events such as earthquakes, mass wasting, flooding and volcanic activity.
ESS.1.3: The surface of Earth changes due to erosion and deposition.
ESS.1.3.a: Water, wind and ice physically remove and carry (erosion) rock, soil and sediment and deposit the material in a new location.
