You correctly identify and describe some of Earth's surface features and name the main natural processes that shape it, using some science vocabulary.
You clearly explain how Earth's surface features change over time and describe how both natural processes and human activities shape Earth, using accurate science language throughout.
You fully explain the connections between natural processes and Earth's surface features, clearly showing how they interact and change over time, and you discuss both natural and human impacts with sophisticated science vocabulary.
