Clarification Statement - S.4.ESS.2.2.CS:
Maps can include topographic maps of Earth’s land and ocean floor, as well as maps of the locations of mountains, continental boundaries, volcanoes, and earthquakes.

Science and Engineering Practices - 3-5.SEP4.1:
Analyze and interpret data to make sense of phenomena using logical reasoning.

Disciplinary Core Ideas - S.4.ESS.2.2.DCI:
ESS2.B: Plate Tectonics and Large-Scale System Interactions •The locations of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, ocean floor structures, earthquakes, and volcanoes occur in patterns. Most earthquakes and volcanoes occur in bands that are often along the boundaries between continents and oceans. Major mountain chains form inside continents or near their edges. Maps can help locate the different land and water features areas of Earth.

Crosscutting Concepts - CC1.7:
Patterns can be used as evidence to support an explanation.
