Science Question:
“What is the range and width of a channel crossed by a lava tube (if we can’t find a channel crossed by a lava tube, it could be a lava tube crossed over by another lava tube)?”
Main Results:
1) We found the range of the channels that we saw, it was between ½ km and 6 ½ km.



2) They could have been formed by lava flow, water, a split in the crust, and many other things.



3) I learned that Earth and Mars have both had natural disasters.

Extra Comments:
"I liked measuring all the crossed channels that we found. I learned that it takes a lot of images to figure out 1 question. I learned that to answer a global question it takes a lot of hard work to find an answer."


"It also was a very good experience because it was cool thinking that I took a picture using a camera orbiting a planet millions of miles away from earth. It was fun to look at the track where the camera was going to pass and finding where we were going to take the picture. I think we were lucky to take pictures on Mars, because not everybody gets to do that."


"By looking at other planets, we can learn more about us and our planet earth. You have to learn about Earth to learn about other planets. This project sent me on a mental trip to Mars."
