California State Content Standards:

Earth's Place in the Universe

1.e) Students know the Sun is a typical star and is powered by nuclear reactions, primarily the fusion of hydrogen to form helium.

1.f Students know the evidence for the dramatic effects that asteroid impacts have had in shaping the surface of planets and their moons and in mass extinctions of life on Earth.

Energy in the Earth System

4.a) Students know the relative amount of incoming solar energy compared with Earth's internal energy and the energy used by society.

5.a) Students know how differential heating of Earth results in circulation patterns in the atmosphere and oceans that globally distribute the heat.

Biogeochemical Cycles

7.c) Students know the movement of matter among reservoirs is driven by Earth's internal and external sources of energy.

Structure and Composition of the Atmosphere

8.b) Students know how the composition of Earth's atmosphere has evolved over geologic time and know the effect of outgassing, the variations of carbon dioxide concentration, and the origin of atmospheric oxygen.
