Science Question:
WHAT ARE THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN WINDSTREAKS AND CRATERS?

Main Results:
The answer to our science question is:
THERE ARE SOME RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN CRATERS AND WINDSTREAKS.
Some of the relationships we discovered are: wind streak width to crater diameter and windstreak length to crater depth.

Our main results:
1. Crater depth is related to windstreak length.
2. Crater diameter is close to windstreak width.
3. Crater diameter does NOT affect windstreak length.
