Main Results:
What do the visible characteristics of Mars craters specify about how they were formed and what do they tell us about the region’s geologic history?
To this our answers were that visibly we could see that the area we are studying in our image is relatively old because of the amount of destroyed and eroded craters many of these things would take large amounts of time. We have found that this area of mars is relatively old, has been heavily showered with meteors, and has been through many different stages in mars’ geologic process.
What erosion patterns exists and is visible in Mars’s craters and what are their probable causes?
The patterns of erosion that we found were mostly on the ‘main’ crater in our photo it shows possible in and out flow channels and this proving wind and water weathering. There is liquid, possibly water erosion on the crater walls where there are large gullies. There is wind erosion in other parts of the picture showing dunes.
