Science Question:
Is it possible to tell whether water or ice formed a channel by comparing it to pictures of the same kind of channels from Earth?
Main Results:
1) It is very difficult to find images of Earth features and THEMIS images to the same scale.

2) It was very difficult to tell the difference between a channel formed by lava, and one formed by ice.

3) Water features on Mars most resembled water features on Earth.
