ESS3.B: Natural HazardsMS.HI.DCI.ESS3.B
- a
Mapping the history of natural hazards in a region, combined with an understanding of related geologic forces can help forecast the locations and likelihoods of future events. (MSESS3-2)MS.HI.DCI.ESS3.B.1
- a
- 2
ESS3.C: Human Impacts on Earth SystemsMS.HI.DCI.ESS3.C
- a
Human activities have significantly altered the biosphere, sometimes damaging or destroying natural habitats and causing the extinction of other species. But changes to Earth’s environments can have different impacts (negative and positive) for different living things. (MS-ESS3-3)MS.HI.DCI.ESS3.C.1
- b
Typically as human populations and per-capita consumption of natural resources increase, so do the negative impacts on Earth unless the activities and technologies involved are engineered otherwise. (MS-ESS3- 3),(MS-ESS3-4)MS.HI.DCI.ESS3.C.2

Cause and EffectMS.HI.CC.2
- a

- b
Cause and effect relationships may be used to predict phenomena in natural or designed systems. (MS-ESS3- 4)

Influence of Engineering, Technology, and Science on Society and the Natural WorldMS.HI.CC.3
- a
All human activity draws on natural resources and has both short and long-term consequences, positive as well as negative, for the health of people and the natural environment. (MS-ESS3-4)MS.HI.CC.3a
- b
The uses of technologies and any limitations on their use are driven by individual or societal needs, desires, and values; by the findings of scientific research; and by differences in such factors as climate, natural resources, and economic conditions. Thus technology use varies from region to region and over time. (MS-ESS3-2),(MS-ESS3-3)MS.HI.CC.3b
