ES.8 The student will investigate and understand geologic processes including plate tectonics. Key concepts include
a) How geologic processes are evidenced in the physiographic provinces of Virginia including the Coastal Plain, Piedmont, Blue Ridge, Valley and Ridge, and Appalachian Plateau;
b) Processes (faulting, folding, volcanism, metamorphism, weathering, erosion, deposition, and sedimentation) and their resulting features; and
c) Tectonic processes (subduction, rifting and sea floor spreading, and continental collision).
