While you are waiting, write the Learning Target

In your journal and say hello
to a friend in the chat box.

The mission of the Georgia Cyber Academy is to provide and exemplary

educational experience to students in a unique and individualized setting.
 Todays Standard:
S5E1. Students will identify surface features of the Earth
caused by constructive and
destructive processes.

b. Identify and find examples of surface features caused by

destructive processes. Erosion (waterrivers and oceans,
wind) Weathering Impact of organisms Earthquake
Volcano

c. Relate the role of technology and human intervention in the

control of constructive and destructive processes. Examples
include, but are not limited to Seismological studies, Flood
control, (dams, levees, storm drain management, etc.) Beach
reclamation (Georgia coastal islands)

think any of this
could be
prevented?
