Two friends were talking after school about something they did in science
class earlier that day. Kim said, "I think the earth is always changing. I bet
that a very long time from now it won't look anything like it does today."
Jordan look surprised. "What do you mean? The earth doesn't change. It is
made of solid rock!" Which friend do you think is correct? Explain which
friend is correct in the space below. What would you say to convince the
other friend that you are correct? Give as many specific examples to
support your answer as possible.

Answer: Well, historically speaking, Kim is correct. The Earth is, in fact, constantly changing- whether it’s experiencing the movement of tectonic plates- which cause earthquakes, eruptions and continental drift- or the ever variable climate that is affected by the human race and it’s actions. Climate change, tectonic plates, pollution, all of these are examples of geographical change to the Earth. Pangea, the giant continent that was before our current state of continental drift, is evidence of such. If you look back on our geographical state in 50 years (which you would live through), you could see the physical change of environment and landmass, as well as ecosystems.
