Ch 1 Review
In chapter one, the thing that I will remember most is the Scablands. The Scablands were a huge mystery to scientists until they solved the mystery of it. Knowing about the Scablands is so interesting because it shows all the unusual things nature can do. Also, learning that the Scablands can help scientists determine what happened to Mars, and if it once held water, is just AMAZING! It’s like we have our own Mars landscape right in the USA! What I learned about the Scablands is that they were created in a very short length of time, almost overnight. They were also created by a great flood caused by the collapsing of an ice glacier/dam. The water came all the way from Lake Missoula! This was a very important part of Washington’s history because the fact that these potholes and unusual carvings appeared out of nowhere, would boggle the minds of scientists for years, and that is pretty hard to believe! That was my review on Chapter One in our Washington State History.
