Exercise<br />
Seventeen<br />
Suggested Correlation of Topics<br />
Deductive reasoning, geologic time, geometric<br />
relations, geomorphology, maps, remote sensing,<br />
satellite observations, stratigraphy, superposition<br />
Purpose<br />
The objective of this exercise is to become familiar<br />
with the techniques of constructing geologic<br />
maps of planetary surfaces. Upon completion of this<br />
exercise the student should understand the concept<br />
of superposition and be able to make interpretations<br />
about the geologic history of the area studied.<br />
Materials<br />
Suggested: Photomosaic MC-16 (SE) of Mars<br />
(U.S. Geological Survey Map I-1187)*, clear acetate<br />
or overhead transparency, overhead projector markers,<br />
tape<br />
Substitutions: tracing paper, set of colored pencils<br />

Background<br />
All the necessary information for completing<br />
this exercise is contained in the studentÕs introduction.<br />
This can be a difficult exercise, and student<br />
maps will vary. Encourage students to record their<br />
unit descriptions before beginning to draw the contacts,<br />
as this will help maintain consistency within<br />
each map. Contact placement will vary with different<br />
unit choices and descriptions. The map included<br />
in the answer key should be used as a general guide<br />
in assessing student maps.<br />
