Geology

Geology is a branch of Earth sciences that studies the solid features of Earth and other terrestrial planets and moons. It encompasses processes such as plate tectonics, rock formation, volcanic activity, sedimentation, and erosion, which shape planetary surfaces over time.

Mars Geological Findings

• Ancient rainforests on Mars: Evidence suggesting past habitability through fossilized remains or isotopic signatures.
• Signs of life: Potential biosignatures indicating microbial activity in the Martian subsurface.
• Lightning phenomena: Recent observations indicate electrical discharges similar to those occurring on Earth, impacting atmospheric composition.
