Full Description
This exam addresses the surface geological processes shaping Mars, focusing on erosion, sedimentation, and the planetary features resulting from these dynamics.
Investigation of Martian surface processes offers critical insights into the planet's climatic history and potential for past water activity. This knowledge is pivotal for future exploration and assessment of habitability.
Students will articulate the mechanisms of erosion and sediment transport on Mars, demonstrating an understanding of morphological features such as valleys, channels, and dune fields.
Candidates may also be asked to compare Martian processes with terrestrial equivalents, enriching discussions on planetary geology and surface evolution.
Sample Questions
- What are the primary sedimentary features observed on the Martian surface, and how do they relate to past climatic conditions?
- Explain how erosion processes on Mars differ from those on Earth, considering environmental factors.
