I Doubt Very Significantly These Statements About Ice On Mars Could Be Thought. We Base These Findings On Nasa's Prior History

[hardouin]

I doubt really seriously these statements about snow on Mars could be believed. We base these conclusions on NASA's preceding record of healthcare misconduct by fabrication and falsification. I have accomplished considerable study on these troubles and identified that their "clinical method(s) and breakthroughs" modify on governmental expediencey and monetary gain. It'd be genuinely intriguing if you spent several years enhancing the concept that you think there may be a lot of gold hidden underneath the surface of Mercury, spent many millions probably to analyze your statements, lo and behold you begin reporting for the press, we found gold. How did they discover to clean the excellent level to reveal "the quot & ice Given that they planted some vibrant substance that seems like ice. To make certain that you to have snow in robust form, you 1st have to have water. To be in a position to have water you very first have to have water steam. Like on the Moon, these certain issues can't variety inside this development in the pressures and temperatures current on Mars. http://www.bccm

there is a really great explanation it could be ice When the planets have been initially formed, there was a layering approach, with the heavy components toward the center and the lighter components additional out.  The heavier elements are radioactive and 'decay.'  In the procedure they heat up, driving water out of the minerals and crystal structures.  Was there much water in the early rocks?  If we are to believe what we are seeing from asteroids and such, the answer is yes, up to 13% water and in some circumstances more.  For example, serpentine is about 13% water, and when it is heated and the water driven out, becomes olivine.  Under the surface of our earth we uncover a great deal of olivine.   There is no purpose to think it was any diverse on Mars.  Both planets show indicators of catastrophic flooding, but on earth we have held the liquid water on the surface due to the fact of our bigger size(gravity) and atmosphere.  Mars does not have those two advantages.  Nonetheless, water driven out could simply have frozen in spots and remained there.    Ice or salt?  Each make ideal sense when one considers that minerals would also release salts with the water.   Nor is it a matter of scraping at the perfect depth, as it might be for a valuable mineral.  It was merely a matter of scraping at all, and at a questionable spot, and checking what has been discovered.  tuppence 67 months ago Please sign in to give a compliment.

Water Ice vs. CO2 Ice This is a good question and is still being investigated to determine validity.   There is some strong evidence that there is ice on Mars, however, most of it is likely CO2 ice found on the surface in the polar regions.  There is probably a much smaller amount of H20(Water) ice, but it is below the surface.  Likely much deeper than the several inches that was found under the scraped surface by the NASA Phoenix Lander   Temperature and pressure are usually factors, but much larger factors on Mars are the thin atmosphere and lack of a molten core which generates a protective magnetic field around the planet.  The thin atmosphere allows for any water vapor on the surface to most evaporate quickly.  The lack of the protective magnetic field allows for radiation from the Sun to make it to the surface and blow away most of the atmosphere and its contents(such as water vapor and CO2 vapor).   Note: there has to be some CO2 ice to continually feed the thin atmosphere that is present on Mars.  The existence of Mar's CO2 atmosphere is a proven fact.  If the CO2 wasn't present on the surface, and present below the surface, it would have dissipated, and been blown away via solar radiation, a long time ago. bokmon 67 months ago Please sign in to give a compliment.
