Project Science Standards **Each
element on Earth moves among reservoirs, which exist in the solid earth,
in oceans, in the atmosphere, and within and among organisms as part of
biogeochemical cycles.
As a basis for understanding this concept
a. Students know the global carbon cycle: the different physical and chemical
forms of carbon in the atmosphere, oceans, biomass, fossil fuels, and
the movement of carbon among these reservoirs.
b. Students know the movement of matter among reservoirs is driven by
Earth's internal and external sources of energy.
d. Students know the relative residence times and flow characteristics
of carbon in and out of its different reservoirs.
**The geology of California underlies the state's wealth of natural resources
as well as its natural hazards.
As a basis for understanding this concept:
a. Students know the resources of major economic importance in California
and their relation to California's geology.
