| ls = Construct an explanation based on evidence for how geoscience processes have changed Earth’s surface at varying temporal and spatial scales.
| cs = Emphasis is on how processes change Earth’s surface at temporal and spatial scales that can be large (such as slow plate motions or the uplift of large mountain ranges) or small (such as rapid landslides or microscopic geochemical reactions), and how many geoscience processes (such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and meteor impacts) usually behave gradually but are punctuated by catastrophic events.
Examples of geoscience processes could include surface weathering and deposition by the movements of water, ice, and wind. Emphasis is on geoscience processes that shape local geographic features, where appropriate.

| Level4 = Construct an explanation, based on evidence from multiple sources, for how geoscience processes have changed Earth’s surface at varying temporal and spatial scales, and determine the rates of change of these different geoscience processes.
| Level3 = Construct an explanation based on evidence for how geoscience processes have changed Earth’s surface at varying temporal and spatial scales.
| Level2 = Given a scientific explanation, identify the evidence that supports how one geoscience process has changed features on Earth’s surface at varying temporal and/or spatial scales.
| Level1 = Identify an explanation, based on the evidence provided, for how one geoscience process has changed features on Earth’s surface at varying temporal or spatial scales.

| SEP1 = Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions
* Construct a scientific explanation based on valid and reliable evidence obtained from sources (including the students’ own experiments) and the assumption that theories and laws that describe the natural world operate today as they did in the past.
| DCI1 = ESS2.A: Earth's Materials and Systems
* The planet’s systems interact over scales that range from microscopic to global in size, and they operate over fractions of a second to billions of years. These interactions have shaped Earth’s history and will determine its future.
| DCI2 = ESS2.C: The Roles of Water in Earth's Surface Processes
* Water’s movements – both on the land and underground – cause weathering and erosion, which change the land’s surface features and create underground formations.
| CC1 = Scale, Proportion, and Quantity
* Time, space, and energy phenomena can be observed at various scales using models to study systems that are too large or too small.

| ls = Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence from rock strata for how the geologic timescale is used to organize Earth’s 4.6-billion-year-old history.
| cs = Emphasis is on how analyses of rock formations and the fossils they contain are used to establish relative ages of major events in Earth’s history. Examples of Earth’s major events or evidence could include very recent events or evidence (such as the last Ice Age or the earliest fossils of Homo sapiens) to very old events or evidence (such as the formation of Earth or the earliest evidence of life). Examples of evidence could include the formation of mountain chains and ocean basins, the evolution or extinction of particular living organisms, or significant volcanic eruptions.
| ab = Assessment does not include recalling the names of specific periods or epochs and events within them, radiometric dating using half-lives, and defining index fossils.
