Keyword: Processing and analyzing data and information Elaboration: Sample opportunities to support student inquiry:Classify fossils based on their modes of formation, taxonomy, and environments. Reconstruct and interpret past environments, applying the principles of absolute and relative dating and using stratigraphy diagrams. Use multiple seismographs and triangulation to locate an earthquake’s epicentre on a map.Create and interpret time-distance graphs for P and S waves.Survey a local geologic structure and create a block diagram. Model geologic events in your local area, using shared First Peoples knowledge and personal observations.Apply information from index fossils to solve problems that require correlation among various rock units.Show the interrelationships among a geologic map, a cross-section, and a block diagram for a specific feature (e.g., fold, fault, dome).Differentiate erosional and depositional glacial features as observed through illustrations and photographs.Analyze the properties of subsurface rock layers that are capable of storing water or fossil fuels.
