E22 - "Is it possible to determine the relative and/or absolute ages of a channel and its surroundings using a crater count?"

My group has decided to research the topic of channels. We decided to study this topic because channels are where water used to be, and if there are channels that means there might be water on Mars, which means that life could have been possible. We came to this conclusion by just talking about it, and after we heard everybody's opinion, we decided channels was the best.
Is that the case? Be sure to go to the Mars Express site and take a look at their images. A better question might be "What happens to craters in channels compared to craters on an exposed surface?"
My group is moving quite quickly, we feel we have enough research now, and we have started a rough draft. We still need a bibliography and we need to type the final draft.
Our new question is... What is the ratio of craters inside the channels and outside the channels.

What a great idea! How did you ever come up with that? ;) Now you have to defend why you think there would be a different number of craters in a channel rather than on flat ground. There are a few great hypothesis for this. See if you can find them. You're almost there!
We have a bibliography now. We only need a final draft, and we need to do the experiment. My group is doing so well. Everyone works together, and no one has forgotten to bring anthing in.
Our question remains the same as last week, What is the ratio of craters inside the vhannels and outside the channels.

Let's change that just a tad to "Is it possible to determine the relative and/or absolute ages of a channel and its surroundings using a crater count?" Your experiment needs a HUGE amount of work. I also disagree with your choice of a graph.
Our final question is Is there a ratio between the number, size, amount and shape of craters inside the channels opposed to outside the channels. The picture we are using in our experiment is 20020509a. We will take a picture of a channel on Mars, and count the craters inside and out of the channels. Then we will compare the size, amount and shape of the craters, to see if there actually is a ratio.
By any chance did you happen to read the caption that goes along with your image? What great support for your proposal!
