About
96%
of
the
water
in
Lake
Mead
is
from
melted
snow
that
falls

Mexico,
and
Wyoming.
During
the
period
from
May
2000
to
April
2003
severe
drought
occurred
in
the
western
states,
and
Colorado

In
this
activity,
students
download
NASA
Hubble
Space
Telescope
(HST)
images
of
the
Martian
polar
ice
caps
in
summer
and
winter.
Using
image
processing
techniques,
students
measure
and
compare
various
images
of
the
changing
Martian
and
Earth
polar
ice
caps.
By
completing
this
activity,
they
will
understand
that
the
sizes
of
the
polar
ice
caps
on
Earth
and
Mars
depend
on
the
lengths
of
the

The
Antarctic
ice
sheet
changes
in
size
over
the
course
of
a
year.
When
it
is
summer
in
the
southern
hemisphere,
the
ice
sheet
decreases
in
size.
As
the
ice
sheet
melts,
it
releases
fresh
water
into
the
ocean.
In
the
southern
winter
(our
summer),
the
ice
refreezes,
drawing
fresh
water
out
of
the
surrounding
ocean,
leaving
the
salt
behind.
These
seasonal
changes
in
the
ice
sheet
are
examined
