We can search for evidence that other planets were once habitable by taking on the role of _____ _____.

(a)  

• planetary geologist
• batman

We investigated a mysterious​ landform called a (a)   photographed on Mars’s surface. We made comparisons between multiple large bodies in our solar system called ​ (b)   before focusing on Mars. We search for evidence of habitability in the planet’s geologic past. We gathered more evidence about whether lava or water formed the channel on Mars by using diagrams or ​ (c)   to understand ​the geologic processes we see on rocky planets. We also observe a Flowing Water Model that provides evidence for the idea that​ (d)   remain after the ​ (e)   that formed them stop happening.

We received additional evidence that conglomerate rock was found near the channel's base on Mars. This evidence strongly supports the ​ (a)   that the channel was formed by flowing water. Using​ ​​ (b)   , we determined what could have formed this channel on Mars. This matters because if there had been liquid water on Mars once, it could have been ​ (c)   since we know Mars has an energy source (the sun).

Scientists can use ​ (a)   , diagrams, to test their ideas and get evidence about processes in the natural world that are difficult to observe. ​ (b)   geological features, can provide ​ (c)   , information or proof, about the past because they remain after the ​ (d)   that formed them stop happening. Models represent the natural processes being investigated in important ways, but they are not exactly the same. Models of channels​ formed by water and models of channels formed by lava, each of which has ​ (e)   with the channel on Mars.
