Exploring Geology on Mars: Chapter 1, Lesson 1.2

What is a geologic process?

• A single event that changes the atmosphere

• A series of events that causes changes in the geosphere

• A process that only occurs on Mars

• A method to study the biosphere

Why do scientists use images taken by airplanes to study geologic processes?

• To observe the atmosphere

• To measure the temperature of the Earth's surface

• To study the biosphere

• To understand how geologic processes change Earth's geosphere over time

What should you focus on when observing images of landforms?

• The location of the landforms

• The shape of the landforms

• The color of the landforms

• The size of the landforms

What is one similarity between landforms created by flowing water and flowing lava?

• They both create river channels

• They both can form similar shapes

• They both result from volcanic eruptions

• They both occur only on Earth

What is the key concept introduced in the video?

• Similar-looking landforms on different rocky planets may have been formed by the same geologic process

• Landforms on different rocky planets are always different

• Geologic processes only occur on Earth

• Mars has no geologic processes

What does the key concept suggest about the channel on Mars?

• It was formed by wind erosion

• It was likely formed by flowing water or flowing lava

• It was created by tectonic shifts

• It was formed by glacial movement

What will be examined in the next lesson to understand the formation of the channel on Mars?

• The atmosphere of Mars

• The biosphere of Earth

• What happens when water and lava flow on Earth

• The temperature of Mars
