  1. Layers and Valley Networks By Nyan Cat: T. J. Kano Aery Kim Eunice Kim Mitsie Kim Hawon Koo Chandelle Pascual Layers Valley Network

  2. Research Question How are layers and valley networks related? • Why is your science question important? We think it is important because they both relate to certain things (possibly) and how it relates to Mars today. • Why is your science question interesting? It is interesting because it combines our group’s two main ideas that we wanted to do. Aery, Hawon, Chandelle, TJ

  3. Background Information Layers Valley Networks

  4. Background InformationLayers Layers are formed by dust particles and water sediments piling on top of each other pressing down on each other because of its own weight. Over time, the layers got thicker and thicker. A Picture of a layer Aery, Eunice, Mitsie, T.J., Chandelle, Hawon

  5. Backround InformationValley Networks Valley networks maybe formed by recurrent floods during a long period when the Martian climate may have been much like that of some arid or semiarid regions on Earth. Valley Networks

  6. Background InformationOther Information • It is thought that valley networks were run by ground flows instead of rain, like the ones on Earth is. • Layers are found usually near polar ice caps and is not commonly known (as a topic). Hawon, Chanelle

  7. Hypothesis • Mitsie, Aery, T.J., Eunice, an Chandelle’s hypothesis: If there are many samples of layers, then by looking at pictures of layers to see if there are valley networks, it will show that the layers were made by the valley networks because the water would flow from the valley networks and create layers.

  8. Themis Camera Methods

  9. Methods continued

  10. Methods Continued • Website List: • http://themis.asu.edu website; • Search “layers” • Click on pictures of “layers” • Log Latitude,Longitude • Log any other features • Log image #

  11. Data

  12. Data

  13. Discussion

  14. This data chart is a bar graph which tells us the amount of each sixteen geological features near layers. About half of the sixteen features are below three and the rest are above-craters being the highest with the amount of about thirty. There were five features that showed up only once. Discussion

  15. Discussion This graph is a scatter plot, showing us the 60 locations of layers. This graph shows the latitude and longitude of layers we have found. We’ve figured out that most layers are on the edges of the MOLA Map and the latitudes are usually ranging from negatives to positive 80’s. The longitude is mostly positive going up to more than 300 and there are no negatives at all.
