The channel on Mars looks curved and branching, similar to channels on Earth that were formed by water. Which key concept helps support this as evidence that the channel on Mars was also formed by water?
Concept 4- Landforms can provide evidence about the past because they remain after the geologic processes that formed them stop happening.
Concept 2- When landforms on different rocky planets look similar it is evidence that they were formed by the same geologic process.
Concept 3- Scientists use models to test their ideas and get evidence about processes in the natural world that are difficult to observe.
