The most interesting result(s)we found from doing the activities We found there were impact craters, and volcanoes. We tried to estimate how old they were. We were surprised to find Earth-like features, as well as strange, weird formations. We found these results by evaluating the pictures. The method that we used was visual observation.

Olympus Mons

Results from the Part 2 Activity (with the HiRise Data) We found many interesting items like Impact Craters, Mountain Ranges, Volcanoes and River Beds. We found these results by studying the photographs carefully. It was hard to see the landforms sometimes. Were they raised or depressed? We used the method of Visual Observation to get our results. We think the craters were formed by meteors hitting the red Martian surface. We believe some mountain features and canyons were made by lava flows and liquid surface flows.

More Results from the Part 2 Activity (with the HiRise Data) Comparing Earth features with other features on Mars and/or to features on the Earth we see Volcanoes, Flowing River Beds, Deep Canyons and Titanic Mountains. Our Conclusion is that these features are similar because we have lava flows and volcanic eruptions on Earth. But we lack the many impact craters the red martian planet has.

Next Steps We don’t believe our site is a good place to land because there seems to be a very uneven surface with lots of mountains, crevices, and craters. We would like to know the type of terrain. Is it rough and rocky, sandy, or fairly stable? We would need to know this in order to evaluate a possible site. Our criteria for selecting a landing site would be mainly, a stable, flat surface. Our goal for sending a mission to Mars, would be to find out more about the planet, and search for evidence of water and life.

Continued… Based upon our observations, we would like to study the features that seemed to have been formed from interaction with water. These would include the bottom of canyons, and areas that seem to have been made by water. These areas look like dry arroyos or riverbeds.
