Mars is alive! Indian scientists find unique movements on the surface
India TodayThe images of tracks left behind by Curiosity and the Perseverance rover on Mars are reminders of human ingenuity on another planet that has remained untouched for millenniums. These boulder tracks can be used to pinpoint recent seismic activity on the planet as humans become more and more interested in the Red Planet with plans to develop colonies in the near future. MOVEMENT ON MARS The study published last month in Geophysical Research Letters states that it takes about two to four Martian years for these boulder tracks to disappear, whereas on Earth they are rarely preserved. Boulder fall ejecta with a diverse spread of ejecta along the track Multiple boulder tracks with light toned ejecta. When it comes to geological activity, scientists last year confirmed that the planet’s centre is molten, likely having a similar composition as Earth, which has a molten outer core and a solid inner core.
