Unit+4+4c,+4b,+4h

The 8th grade state test has a several questions on plate tectonics and weather maps. Clouds and winds are less important, so if you need to cut parts from this unit I would omit or condense those. Also, if I were teaching this unit again, I would break it into two units (one on plate tectonics and the other on weather).
