✍️Activity 9B: Surface Water on Mars

Surface Water on Mars

Mars has shown evidence of water, and NASA and others have been studying Mars intensely in recent years. Let us look at a few features on Mars.

Use Google Mars, or download the desktop version of Google Earth.

If using the desktop version, locate Saturn in the toolbar along the top. Click the Saturn button to bring up several location options and select Mars. In the Layers box on the left, notice Global Maps. You may have to click on it to expand it. For today, we will use the highest quality images found in the Visible Images layer. The other layers are interesting but won’t be used here.
