Unit 2: Earth processes – energy transfers and transformations Earth and Environmental Science

Earth system processes require energy. In this unit, students explore how the transfer and transformation of energy from the sun and Earth’s interior enable and control processes within and between the geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere. …

ACMMM017

recognise features of the graphs of \(y=x^3\), \(y=a{(x-b)}^3+c\) and \(y=k(x-a)(x-b)(x-c)\), including shape, intercepts and behaviour as \(x\rightarrow\infty\) and \(x\rightarrow-\infty\)

ACMMM106

apply the product, quotient and chain rule to differentiate functions such as \(xe^x\), \(\tan x,\), \(\frac1{x^n}\), \(x\sin x,\text{ }e^{-x}\sin x\) and \(f(ax+b)\)

ACMMM037

examine amplitude changes and the graphs of \(y=a\sin x\) and \(y=a\cos x\)

ACMMM036

recognise the graphs of \(y=\sin x,\;y=\cos x,\) and \(y=\tan x\) on extended domains

ACMSM098

use and apply the notation \(\left|x\right|\) for the absolute value for the real number \(x\) and the graph of \(y=\left|x\right|\)

ACELR007

approaches to characterisation, for example, the inclusion of archetypal figures, authorial intrusion, the dramatisation of a character’s inner life, and the use of interior monologue

ACSES045

Processes within and between Earth systems require energy that originates either from the sun or the interior of Earth

ACMMM039

examine phase changes and the graphs of \(y=\sin{(x+c)}\), \(y=\cos{(x+c)}\) and \(y=\tan{(x+c)}\) and the relationships \(\sin\left(x+\frac\pi2\right)=\cos x\) and \(\cos\left(x-\frac\pi2\right)=\sin x\)

ACMMM065

recognise the qualitative features of the graph of \(y=a^x(a>0)\) including asymptotes, and of its translations \(y=a^x+b\) and \(y=a^{x+c}\)

ACMMM082

define the derivative \(f'\left(x\right)\) as \(\lim_{h\rightarrow0}\frac{f\left(x+h\right)-f(x)}h\)

ACMSM117

use substitution \(u = g(x)\) to integrate expressions of the form \(f\left(g\left(x\right)\right)g'\left(x\right)\)

ACSES047

Transfers and transformations of heat and gravitational energy in Earth's interior drives the movement of tectonic plates through processes including mantle convection, plume formation and slab sinking

Rationale/Aims Earth and Environmental Science

Rationale Earth and Environmental Science is a multifaceted field of inquiry that focuses on interactions between the solid Earth, its water, its air and its living organisms, and on dynamic, interdependent relationships that have developed between these …
