Full Description
This exam assesses the various weathering processes affecting extraterrestrial surfaces, including physical and chemical weathering on bodies such as Mars and asteroids.
Understanding extraterrestrial weathering is crucial for interpreting surface composition, alteration processes, and the geological evolution of these bodies. This also has implications for astrobiology and resource utilization.
Students will articulate the types and mechanisms of weathering distinct to extraterrestrial environments and discuss their geological consequences, including surface morphology changes.
Exam participants may be prompted to connect these weathering processes to Earth-based analogs, facilitating comparative planetary geology.
Sample Questions
- What similarities and differences exist between weathering processes on Mars and those on Earth?
- Discuss the implications of weathering for understanding the potential habitability of extraterrestrial environments.
