Lessons 6-7 Plate Tectonics and Landforms

• These lessons cover understanding the interior
  structure of the Earth and plate tectonics, and
  explaining geological events and cycles that
  occur due to plate motion. Describing how
  landforms and rock layers are created, and
  understanding how the three types of plate
  boundaries cause different landforms.
