SCI-04.ESS2.02 Analyze and interpret data from maps to describe patterns of Earth’s
features.
Clarification Statement: 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. Disciplinary Core Ideas The locations of mountain ranges, deep ocean
