Mars Geology refers to the study of the physical structure, composition, and processes of the planet Mars. It encompasses the examination of Martian rocks, soil, landforms, and the history of geological activity, such as volcanism, erosion, sedimentation, and tectonics. Researchers aim to understand the planet’s geological history, including the formation of its surface features like craters, valleys, and polar ice caps. This field also investigates the presence and influence of water, past climate conditions, and the potential for past life on Mars. Understanding Mars geology is essential for interpreting the planet’s evolution and for planning future exploration missions.
A recent study conducted by researchers from multiple universities has shed light on the geological history of Mars and the processes that have shaped its surface. The study focused on…
