Where are the longest wind streaks located on Mars? (The strongest winds on Mars) Why is your science question important? Why is your science question important? Our science question is important because in the future if we are ever capable to go live on Mars then it is important to know what the weather patterns are, such as the winds. So if we could know how strong the winds are on Mars, then we could see how similar earth’s winds are to Mar’s winds. Why is your science question interesting? Why is your science question interesting? Our science question is interesting because many people do want to know where the longest wind streaks are on Mars. Also we think that it is pretty interesting to figure out where the strongest winds on Mars are and how strong they can get.

Many types of wind streaks have a strong association with topographic perturbations (disturbances with maps), such as craters or hills. Many types of wind streaks have a strong association with topographic perturbations (disturbances with maps), such as craters or hills. There are three major types of wind streaks: There are three major types of wind streaks: 1. Bright streaks are usually distinct, but thermally indistinct from the surrounding terrain 2. Dark streaks are optically and thermally indistinct from the surrounding terrain, which means that they are formed in brighter deposits. 3. Bright and dark streaks are formed by the modification of regional wind flow by the crater’s topography.

Definition of Wind Streak: Is a form of a dust trail that forms from the wind when it hits the lee side of the crater. This makes a type of streak form in the back of a crater.

Wind streaks are formed when higher winds in the stable atmosphere flow down the lee side of the crater. This occurs mostly after large dust storms and in the evening, as at these times the winds are strongest They used thermal- inertia and albedo data from the Mars Global Surveyor In order to estimate The physical properties of the streaks and thus Provide an insight in the way they are formed.

Hypothesis Gellie’z Hypothesis Gellie’z Hypothesis If, there are 100 samples of wind streaks, then by looking at pictures of wind streaks, Most of them would be located in the south. If, there are 100 samples of wind streaks, then by looking at pictures of wind streaks, Most of them would be located in the south. Because there is not that much sun, which means its cold, so there must be wind, which shows there are mostly wind in the south.

Methods SpacecraftNASA’s Mars Odyssey CameraTHEMIS Camera Image TypeVisible Images – to see details within the crater MOLA – to see context of image and depth Geologic Features Studied Our geologic feature are wind streaks because our research question is where are the longest wind streaks located Geographic regions we focused on Our images come from all over Mars Bibliography for Pix or other information?

Methods Continued… Sample Size120 THEMIS Images used to gather data Categories of Data to be collected and “Why” Image ID # - we need the image # because it tells us what picture we looked at. Latitude/ Longitude – we need these coordinates so we can find the location of were the data is at. Wind streak direction- we need the direction so we know witch way the wind is blowing. Misc. Data – To record any other interesting information not warranted by our necessary data categories but certainly important to our study MeasurementsPicture Diameter – Rough estimation relative to image parameters based on THEMIS Camera’s Visible Image range of 18km x 30km Bibliography for Pix or other information?

Data 1 elator vallis North/Eastbig, two craters 2 streamline d North/Westmany windstreaks 3 Ares vallis polygons North/Westweird land formation 4 syrtis major wind East/Northmany This data chart is very important because it shows us where the wind streaks are and what direction the wind streaks are. Also it tells us any other misc. data about that picture. We can really find out a lot from this data chart.

This scatter plot is important because it shows us where all the wind streaks that we looked up were found. This scatter plot graph is the answer to our question. Which was “Where are the longest wind streaks located?” According to this scatter plot graph it shows us that most of the wind streaks are located in the middle (by the equator).
