Research Question Is there a pattern in streamlined islands and the flow of water on Mars (are double streamlined islands possible?) Why is your science question important? - This question is important because if we know where the water is flowing then we will know where to look for life on Mars. Why is your science question interesting? - This question is interesting because it’s an old question that was never answered and might never be answered.

Background information There is substantial geologic evidence that large amount of water once flowed across the surface of Mars distant years ago. Streamlined islands have a blunt end that is usually has an obstacle, often an impact crater. The crater is resistant to erosion and the association of crater creates a geologic barrier around where the water used to flow. By: Michelle "Streamlined Island." Mars Odyssey Mission THEMIS. Web.

How Streamlined Islands are formed Streamlined islands can be formed two ways. The meteor hits the ground and forms a crater. A channel is formed near the crater and the water from the channel flows around the the crater. This causes a teardrop-shaped island to form behind the crater. Another way that would cause teardrop shape would be tremendous force of moving water, possibly from a catastrophic flood, carved these teardrop-shaped islands By: Naomi and Sarah (pic and edited by michelle) "Marte Vallis."

How Streamlined Islands are formed The other way is that a streamlined island is formed on Mars is: A meteor hits the channel and forms a crater. The crater gets in the way of the water flowing. This creates a teardrop-shaped island behind the crater. By: Naomi and Sarah (pic by michelle) "Erosion." Mars Odyssey Mission THEMIS. Web. 01 Dec. 2011. http://themis.asu.edu/zoom-20061228a.
Hypothesis If there are many samples of streamlined island, then by looking at streamlined there will be no pattern in the water flow direction because rivers on Mars can be compared to those on Earth.

Methods Spacecraft NASA’s Mars Odyssey Camera THEMIS Camera Image Type Visible Images – to see details within the crater MOLA – to see context of image and depth Geologic Features Studied Our topic is streamlined islands and craters because our research question is about the pattern of the streamlined islands and the flow of water. Geographic regions we focused on Regions with the most valley networks and channels. By: Michelle "Acheron Fossae." Mars Odyssey Mission THEMIS.

Methods Continued… Sample Size 120 THEMIS Images used to gather data Categories of Data to be collected and “Why” Water flow direction – So that the flow of water on Mars can be compared to the flow of water on Earth. Image ID # - So pictures can be identified. Latitude/ Longitude – To determine the areas that would be good places to look for signs of life. Misc. Data – To record any other interesting information not warranted by our necessary data categories but certainly important to our study.

Why is data important to the study? Data chart is important to the study because it shows the direction of where the water is flowing and this helps to find the pattern of water flow direction. Also data helps to organize the thoughts and information that were gathered during the researching process. Bibliography for Pix or other information?
By: Sarah The second graph represents the location of streamlined islands on Mars. They were all between -60 and +60 in latitude and varied in longitude position. Most streamlined islands are located at an altitude of -2 km (green areas of the map). .
By: Sarah and Lumi The first graph represents the direction flow of Streamlined Islands on Mars. The highest percentage of water flow was tied between Southeast and South followed by North, Southwest, East and Northeast, then West. There seems to no particular trends or patterns in water flow direction.
