I think that the most convincing piece of evidence is the sand dunes on evidence card C. I think this because sand is sediment, and if there’s sediment on Venus, sedimentary rock can’t be far behind. I also think that evidence card B supports this claim. It shows some sort of compacted rock layered on top of itself. I think that the rock shown in that image, is sedimentary.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the rock formations on Venus are mostly igneous rock. My first and strongest piece of evidence is evidence card J. This is very significant because it shows that it is impossible, or at least highly improbable for rock to weather on Venus. I am mostly using the process of elimination, but it also makes sense that there is no water sources on Venus, especially when it is so hot on the surface. My second piece of evidence is more visual. This is evidence card D. The picture of the mountain looks a lot like the cooled lava field in Hawaii. As I said, mostly visual. But I believe it looks was more like igneous rock then sedimentary.

I think that the sand dunes aren't igneous rock because they'd look different so it's probably sedimentary rock. All evidence cards make some sense although B makes the most sense explaining sediment being compacted on one another. There being igneous is highly unlikely given the sand and the rock, which is probably sedimentary.

(Madison Rask)    I think this claim is true because in all the photos I have seen most of the rock is brown with speckes of other colors and because of evidence card A, B which shows a lot of sediment and sedimentary rock and because of evidence I think the transformation process is mostly sedimentary but I think there is still some igneous rock transformation too and evidence card C shows this .

# data[].attributes.body
I think this claim is the most convincing because of evidence card J. I think that evidence card J helps me understand that it is nearly impossible for sedimentary rock to form on venus. This is because venus is always raining acid, it is also very hot and there isn't water there so how would sedimentary rock form. Also there isn't wind to how will things weather so they can create sediment. I also think that evidence card I supports this claim. I think this because if the average surface heat is 464 degrees celsius or 867.2 degrees fahrenheit. This can make it possible that there is a very hot mantle because of how hot the surface is. So I think that Claim 2 is correct.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose claim 1 because on evidence card b it looks like it has layers and jagged edges it supports the claim by having layers and we learned that sedimentary rock has layers.

# data[].attributes.body
Evidence cards J and D are the most helpful

# data[].attributes.body
I think its claim 2 because it never rains on Venus and the

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the rocks on Venus are completely sediment because you can see the pebbles and bigger rock formations that look cemented and compacted. This is important because you don't see a source of magma or water. But the sun will weather the rocks away and Venus rains acid which would still compact and cement the rocks on its surface.

# data[].attributes.body
Evidence card D is the evidence I found most convincing. I believe that Venus is mostly igneous rock because card d has a photograph of Venus's landscape, and there is a mound on it that has a very similar shape to a volcano.

# data[].attributes.body
My best piece of evidence is Evidence Card B because the rock looks like it has thin layers of rock. This means that the layers came from sediment that got compacted and cemented over time. That process happened many times. My piece of evidence supports Claim 1.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that evidence card I, which describes the surface of Venus can warm up to 464 degrees Celsius. This supports my claim because igneous rock formed by melting and cooling. So the temperature on Venus cold easily melt rock.  I also think that evidence card K, which describes Venus is about the same size and age as Earth. So it likely has similar energy sources as Earth. This supports my claim because if Venus might have similar energy sources, then igneous rock or sedimentary rock is possible. If your combine the temperature of Venus with it's energy, it probably melt rock quicker. I am up for any kind of feedback.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is claim 2 because The surface getting up to 464 degrees Celsius which could cause the rock to melt. Also, There is no water on Venus so because water is a key element in sedimentary rock so if there is no water it would be tough to impossible to form sedimentary rock. Finally, If the clouds on Venus don't produce water so weathering can't happen so sediment can't be formed. I am open to suggestion.

Claim 3: venus mass produces both rocks.

# data[].attributes.body
I think claim 3 because The heat from venus can melt the igneous rock into magma then cools at the surface. The way sedimentary rock formed is that the acidic rain melts the igneous rock into sediment then compactes into sedimentary rock on Venus.

# data[].attributes.headline
I think it's Claim 2, because it has no water on it's surface, and it is said the have an interior very similar to Earth's, which means it has igneous rock.

# data[].attributes.subject
I think it's Claim 2, because it has no water on it's surface, and it is said the have an interior very similar to Earth's, which means it has igneous rock.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this because the surface of venus is super hot so then it would be easier for the igneous rock to melt either if it was on the surface or under the surface.

# data[].attributes.body
I think one of the most convincing pieces of evidence was card C. On Venus there is lots of sediment and with the atmosphere pressure and the heat it's easy for sedimentary rock to form. The air pressure on Venus is very high it's is much easier for sedimentary rock to form here than on earth.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe Claim 2 is the most convincing. I think the most convincing piece of evidence is Evidence Card C because this card shows images of sand dunes on Venus. This supports my chosen claim because sand can only be formed through sedimentary rock processes (wind and acid rain). Building on Evidence Card C, Evidence Card J states that there are winds up to 5 km per hour on Venus, which could weather rock. My second most convincing piece of evidence is Evidence Card A because the rocks in the image look like sedimentary rock. This supports my claim because sedimentary rocks can only be formed through sedimentary rock processes. Furthermore, it looks like loose sediment is covering the surface of Venus in the image. These are the reasons why I believe Claim 1 is the most convincing.

# data[].attributes.body
I think evidence card A is most convincing because it shows a picture of small rock bits and it rains sulfuric acid on Venus which is way stronger than water that can break any rock on venus turning it into sediment. This is why i think claim 1 is correct.

# data[].attributes.body
I think claim 2 because on evidence card B it shows a bunch of little broken up pieces of igneous rock and I think they got broken up by plate motion. My second piece of evidence is evidence card A because on this on it shows mostly igneous rock but in the bottom left hand corner it shows a little bit of broking up rock and I am not quite sure what it is. Therefore I think it was claim 2.

# data[].attributes.body
I think both rocks form there because the acidic rain melts the rocks into sediment then compacts into sedimentary rock. Calder Cupino.

# data[].attributes.headline
I think that Venus's rock transformation processes form mostly igneous rock. My strongest piece of evidence is Card J, this card says that Venus's wind is 0-5 km/hour, which is not very strong wind for weathering rock. It also says that it does not rain water on Venus, and rain also weathers rocks. Finally the card said that there is no frozen or liquid water on Venus, if there is no water there is no where for the sediment to go to be compacted and cemented.

I think claim 2 because card D is my strongest evidence because the picture shows a landscape of a mountain and the mountain has light and dark areas on it. Which the lighter areas could be magma that is cooling, and the darker areas could be magma that had already cooled. Also Venus is really hot so that is also why igneous rock is more likely to form there.

# data[].attributes.body
My strongest evidence is Evidence Card I, which is a chart that showed that Venus' surface warms up to 464 degrees C, and this supports the claim because it is definitely hot enough to melt rock. Other evidence that supports this claim is Evidence Card J, which shows a lot of things, but one of the things it shows is that there is barely any wind or running water, which means sediment can't form, and this matters because sedimentary rock forms by sediment.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this claim is the most convincing because evidence card J says that there is no water clouds, there is no liquid or frozen water on the surface, and the wind speed is very low compared to earth's.

# data[].attributes.body
My first piece of evidence is that Venus's rock transformation processes formed mostly sedimentary rock. The evidence that supports my claim is, it says parts of the surface have what looks like small rocks and sediment. Another piece of evidence is that they were broken into layers piled on top of each other. This supports my claim by pieces of broken sedimentary rock piled on top of each other and compacted.

# data[].attributes.headline
I agree with claim three because I don't think Venus is just made out of igneous or just sediment I think venus has a lot of rock types. Not just one. The reason I think that because it is very hot there so it could form magma and turn into igneous and then the acidic rain can melt rock into sediment and compact it into sedimentary rock!

I think Venus's rock transformation processes form mostly igneous rock. I think this because my stongest piece of evidence is evidence card I. The card is saying that the sun warms Venus's surface at 464 degress celsuis and is comparing to Earths temprature which is 15 degress celsuis. This evidence supports the claim by showing that magma can cool at Venus's surface. So you could be able to find igneous rock because when magma cools and hardens it create's igneous rock. My second strongest piece of evidence is Evidence Card D. This evidence supports the claim by showing that there is a mountian like landform in the middle of the picture., were the top is caved in a little. Just like a volcanoe. Also, the land around it has light and dark rock. It looks like this landform is a volcanoe. And magma comes out of volcanoes, once the magma cools and hardens. It turns into igneous rock.

# data[].attributes.body
I think its claim two Because on evidence card j it says the wind speeds are slow that means more ignis rock can form because it would be so slow for weathering also there is no water for the cementing process so the would be slowed down. The surface of venus is cool  enough for  rock to cool.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it can be both, yeah Venus is extremely hot but so what? from various videos that Mrs.Berry has put on her assignments you can see in venus there are also clouds which means there is still some type of weather in there. From that i have thought about the possibility to have the two types of rocks formed in there.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that most of the rock on venus is igneous because if the surface is hot the interior must be raging with heat and how would weathering happen to creat sedimentary rock.

# data[].attributes.body
i think it's claim 2, my first piece of evidence  there is no possible way like there's acid rain but there's no like bodys of water which you need for the compaction and cementing my second piece of evidence is evidence card d that there was that small mountain and it has darker patches of rock it looks solid has a few cracks and has no layers why this evidence matters is because igneous rock has darker patches and has some cracks in it and igneous rock has no rocks poking out of it and no layers and the mountains didn't have layers or rocks poking out of it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Venus forms mostly Igneous rock, I think this because my strongest evidence (card J) says that It can not rain on Venus and the wind is slow therefore I think it is impossible for much sediment to form on Venus.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe Venus's rock formation processes form mostly igneous rock because there is no water on Venus, and there is also very low wind speeds causing the weathering process not to happen which means sediment cannot be made and sediment is what makes sedimentary rock. I also believe that Venus's rock processes form mostly igneous rock because Earth and Venus and Earth are very alike in size, so they will have an alike interior energy. This matters because if Venus and Earth have an alike interior energy and Earth makes igneous rock then Venus must also be able to make igneous rock.

# data[].attributes.body
My strongest piece of evidence to support claim 1 is evidence card I because it says that the sun warms the surface up to 464 degrees celcius and that is way more than the sun does to Earth, so if there ismore sun power than that means it is going to weather faster. Another piece of evidence is evidence card A because in the picture it has small pieces of rock and sand, and since sand is a type of sediment and small pieces of rock are basically sediment, that proves that Venus's rock transformation processes form mostly sedimentary rock.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Venus is mostly igneous rock because there are very few things that could actually weather away the rocks on Venus so it's very unlikely to have sediment and we know that there it is volcanic activity so that must mean that the planet is mostly igneous how I figured this out was the process of elimination.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Venus's rock transformation process form mostly igneous rock. My strongest piece of evidence is card I. This shows that the sun warms Venus' surface an average of 464 degrees Celsius. This matters because if there was a such thing that is similar to a mantle on Venus, rock could melt into magma and then cool under the surface to create igneous rock. My second piece of evidence is evidence card K. The card shows that Venus is about the same size and age of Earth. Venus could have the same interior energy as Earth. This works with card I because this card shows that Venus is likely to have a mantle. The mantle would melt the rock into magma to then rise up and cool below the surface.

# data[].attributes.body
This Claim have the most sence because the pics from the cards have lots of sedimentary rock on them.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the rock formations are mostly sedimentary rock. My strong evidence for this claim is the sediment on the ground. Author thing is that there is wind on venus right so the rocks can smash into each other and break into sediment. My last claim is that there is acid so they can break down.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with this claim because if there is no water there can be no sediment to form sedimentary, so if there is no sediment there can be no sedimentary rock. This is on evidence card J. For my second piece of evidence is card D. In card d you can see that the picture looks very hot and almost like magma. Magma is what forms igneous rock. Therefore I think if we use the process of elimination we can come to the conclusion that claim 2 is correct

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that claim two is true, one of my strongest pieces of evidence is that it only rains acid and there is NO wind on Venus, this supports my claim because to form Sedimentary rock,  you most hae rain and wind to create weathering. Acid is going to not just break it down, but most likely is going to melt it down, into almost a liquid, the second part of this evidence is that there is no wind, this matters because you also need wind to perform weathering. My next and final piece of evidence is that it is about 670% celcius witch shows that it is very, very hot, witch would lead to the inner Earth being very hot, melting rock into magma.

# data[].attributes.body
i think Venus is made up of both rocks because if there's igneous rock it can weather into sediment and become sedimentary rock and if there's sedimentary rocks they can melt and cool and become igneous rock.   - Ruby Barany

# data[].attributes.body
i think that it is Claim 2. I think think this because i have a string piece of evidence that supports my claim. The claim that i have is, that t only rains acid on Venus. To form sediment you need it to get weathered, it can't get weathered if there is no wind or natural energy to weather it. Also in the evidence cards it says they have little to no rain. And if it does rain it rains sulfric acid. So there fore there is nothing to weather the sediment. If you cant make new sediment you cant make sedimentry rock. My next claim to support claim 2 is evidence card D has a picture of a mountain on venus. To me that picture looks like it was formed by magma and cooled, that would make it igneous rock. I support claim 2.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it is a mix of both igneous and sedimentary because it's very hot there, and the weather would be very efficient at weathering away rocks. I found this evidence in the evidence cards. This supports the claim because the heat will melt the igneous rock faster or more often. And the weather (from what we know) is acid like so it would break rocks down faster.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this claim is best supported because I think it is just more belivable and as what we have been learning .

# data[].attributes.body
I think claim 2 is correct because venus is a very hot planet and there has been proof of volcanoes and plate movement.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is both claim #1 and claim#2. Were going to call this Claim #3.
I think it is claim #3 because with the heat on Venus there is probably magma which will rise to the surrise

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's claim 2, because on evidence card D it showed A picture of volcanic activity, so Venus has the energy to make magma to form igneous rock.

i think it is claim 1# and 2# because they are both supportive and because i know that sedimentary and igneous can turn into each other

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it is made up of igneous rock because it couldn't have been sedimentary because it cant weather on venus!

# data[].attributes.body
agree with claim 2 because there is no frozen or liquid water on Venus, and water is essential for the formation of Sedimentary Rock.

# data[].attributes.body
There are lots of volcanoes on venus. So there is mostly igneous rock on venus.

# data[].attributes.body
It is so hot on Venus that it can melt rock very easy. And then it forms igneous rock. So there is mostly igneous rock on Venus.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is igneous rock because venus does look like sediment.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's claim 2 because on evidence card D, it showed a volcanic activity so that mean Venus has the energy to form igneous rock. Another piece of evidece is card J. This evidence is technically telling me that Venus can't be weathered and there is no water at all on the surface because of how hot it is, so I think it's claim 2.

# data[].attributes.body
I think claim 2 because the surface of Venus is super hot and can melt rock. This evidence supports the claim because Igneous rock needs to be formed by melting. I don't think claim 1 is the best option because Sedimentary rock needs to be formed by wind and water breaking it down but there is no water on Venus or barely any wind.

# data[].attributes.body
Venus's clouds do not rain because it is so hot there. This supports the claim because it has to rain to cement the sediment and it has to weather or rain wind and the sun have to break rock into smaller pieces of rock called sediment..

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the strongest piece of evidence that supports Claim 2: Venus's rock transformation processes form mostly igneous rock is Evidence card D which is the one with the picture of the mountain, which has a dented in top. This supports Claim 2 because It looks a lot like the picture of Mount St. Helens, which is made of igneous rock. I think that the second strongest piece of evidence is evidence card K, which is the picture of Earth and Venus, and says that both Earth and Venus have similar internal energy.This supports claim 2 because it means that Venus probably has magma in it's core too, this means that Venus like Earth probably has volcanoes where lava comes out of Venus's core and cools into igneous rock.

# data[].attributes.body
The evidence that is most convincing is how the planet looks it doesn't look like sediment rock it looks like igneous i can tell because if it was sediment rock it would be crumbly looking but igneous rock looks bumpy and has holes in it that is what the surface of venus looks like to me. Another piece of evidence is the clouds on venus they don't rain so the possibilities of the rock getting weathered is very low so it wouldn't be sedimentary rock.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree with this, it only is a few words but it makes sense.

# data[].attributes.body
My strongest evidence for this claim is evidence card #2 because it shows how hot and how could a rock needs to be, to be called a solid rock and a liquid rock. Another piece of evidence I have is evidence card J because it says it does not rain on Mars.

# data[].attributes.body
Sorry my messages are split. Why that matters is because rocks could not weather away and make Sedimentary rock. One last piece of evidence is Evidence card #1 because it says Venus is 464 degrees warm which is way to warm to have water on it which is another reason that sediment cannot weather into Sedimentary rock.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is Claim 3 because mostly what another student said who I agree with, rock can be heated by Venus's interior which can melt the rock into magma and harden to form igneous rock, and the acidic rain on Venus acts like water and rain on Earth, weathers the rock into sediment which can later compact and cement to form sedimentary rock. -Eli

# data[].attributes.body
I think the most convincing piece of evidence for Claim 2 is evidence card J. I think this because on this evidence card it says that there is not a lot of wind on Venus, and wind is one thing that makes weathering and erosion. another thing the card says is that the clouds on venus don't actually rain rain. they rain acid. I don't think that acid could be used for the cementation process.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose claim 1 because I saw that the rocks on Venus were in smaller pebbles and there were bigger rocks with smaller rocks around them. This is important because it shows that something must be wearing away the rocks on Venus. This supports my claim because something like rain or the sun must weather away the rock which means there is sediment. I also don't see signs of volcanic activity or anything supporting the igneous rock process.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, i believe the venus rock can change into igneous rock

# data[].attributes.body
I think that all of the rock formations on venus are sedimentary rock because there is lots of energy from the sun and the acid rain will weather and erode the rock into large piles of sediment and after lots of time and rain it will eventually become compacted and cemented into sedimentary rock. there is not much volcanic activity that I would know of so I definitely don't think that there would be any igneous rock on venus.
