Full Description

This examination evaluates the comparative analysis of geological features across various planetary bodies, including Mars, Venus, and Mercury. Emphasis is placed on understanding surface processes, impact cratering, and atmospheric influences.

Comparative studies of planetary bodies enhance the understanding of planetary formation, evolution, and the conditions affecting geological processes across the Solar System. This informs both theoretical models and practical exploration strategies.

The exam will require students to articulate differences in geological processes and their implications for planetary science, using specific examples from multiple planetary bodies.

Focus may include discussions on current and future missions that aim to investigate and compare geological features across different celestial bodies.

Sample Questions

  • What are the main geological differences between the surfaces of Mars and Venus?
  • How do impact craters inform our understanding of planetary surfaces?
