Which model best represented the features of the channel on Mars?

• Slowly flowing water

• Slowly flowing lava

• Water flowing down at steep angle

• Lava flowing down at a steep angle.

Which of these is reasoning to support which geologic process created the channel on Mars?

• The rocks were kind of the same on Earth as the ones on Mars.

• The channel on Mars was created by flowing water, lava or wind.

• There was a triangle shape at the bottom of the channel that looked like triangle shapes on Earth that were made by flowing lava and flowing water.

• The rock on Earth that were created by flowing water matched the rock formation on Mars. Therefore, the channel on Mars was created by flowing water.
