Purpose:

• To better understand the terrestrial (rocky) planets by analyzing their surface features
• To demonstrate (again) how a wealth of information can be extracted from pictures

Reminders for this lab:

• As with the previous lab, some questions don't have definite right/wrong answers. Any conclusions you make should be backed up with a description of what you observed and the reasoning which led you to a certain answer.
• Be sure to answer all Question #s
• Notice that there are questions at the end of the lab to guide you as you write your summary. Responses to these questions should be included in the content of your paragraphs, and not given in list form.
