Q- 3a, Although there is always an interaction between spheres, which sphere does the features you are studying most closely relate to? litho/geosphere. what is the significance/important/role of this feature within this earth system. it effects the biosphere by killing living organisms and send pollution to the atmosphere\ They have a large affect on the biosphere because they kill organisms\Source:Marble Matches Packet.
Q - 4a. What specific characteristics are used to identify this feature(s) in an image ?
The depression, roundness, ridges, surface, type of rocks and surface around it.
Q - 4b. Are there any features that look similar to the feature(s) you are studying but are actually something else ?
How do you make sure you are not misunderstanding features ?
A central vent/caldera, and an ash plume. Read the caption located right under the pictures and look for surrounding items.
Q - 5. list the image identification numbers (and/or show images) for at least three astronaut photographs that include the feature(s) you are investigation.
ISS022-E-44556 ISS020-E-45171 ISS018-E-23712
Q -6.What specific geographic regoin(s) on Earth will you focus on to observe this feature(s), and why ?
Dry land, California, the moon. Any place a bigger rock hits will have a bigger depression.
Step 4 - Experimental Design
Final refined question: What are the differences and similarities between impact craters on the moon and Earth?
Using astronaut photographs we observe:
-impact craters on the surfaces of Earth and the moon.
-The size (diameter) of crater
-If they have a peak in the interior
-The rim of the crater and if it has eroded away or not
-Location of crater
We will also observe how close craters are to each other.

-Using Google search and ask.com, we will find useful websites to gain information.

Hypothesis- Moon craters and Earth craters are different based on their size and shape.
rocky floor with many other smaller craters around

GLOSSARY
impact craters-a crater formed on a planetary surface by the impact of a projectile.
simple craters -the morphology of impact craters changes with crater diameter.
complex crater-a scale diameter form a few kilometers on earth to a huge 460 km diameter observed on an asteroid for velsa.
multi-ring basin crater:a large basin excavated by asteroid or planetesimals on a surface.

STEPS IN THE PROCESS OF SCIENCE
Step 1 - Preliminary Question
1. How do sand dunes form and how long does it take for them to form?
2. Are all canyon formed, and shaped the same way as the grand canyon?

Final Question of Study: What is the difference and similarities between Impact Craters on the moon and on earth?
Q- 3a- Describe the process of how this feature is formed?
Meteors punture the earth and leaves a depression on the surface.
