What Are The Effects Of Flowing Water On Mars
Scientists confirmed there was liquid flowing water on Mars on the 28th of September. The water was found running down slopes in the warmer months when the temperatures were above -10℉. The water was similar to our ocean water in the way that it was salty but the salt found in the water was more like what we use to de ice the roads. There are long, dark streaks that show where the water flows because as of right now there are no streams, rivers, or lakes on Mars so the water comes from under the soil and wets the soil causing the streaks. This means although the water is slightly different Mars has an even better chance now at supporting life which we will need if NASA is sending astronauts there in 2030. This water could be used for drinking

    Mars Versus Earth

    Mars has no liquid water on its surface because its atmospheric pressure is too low. Instead the surface only looks similar to places like California’s Mohave Desert and different volcanic places in the Hawaiian islands. Its surface looks reddish from iron oxide, is mostly rocky and barren with no signs of organisms yet, and its air is mostly carbon dioxide. It also has massive dust storms. The only place there might be water is trapped in its polar ice caps. Earth on the other hand abounds with vegetation, life, water, and oxygen due to our atmosphere and relative distance to the sun. Mars is also about half the size of Earth, and its mass is much smaller, making its gravity much weaker as well. Mars does not have plate tectonics like Earth. Because it’s mantle stays fixed, hotspots remain in the same position which is why it develops the largest volcanoes in the solar system, such as Olympus Mons.…

    Sending Curiosity, a space rover, to mars is much more difficult than sending people into outer space for 2 major reasons: the amount of collaboration/effort and planning. NASA said that this mission “introduced the world to one of the most daring, inventive feats of engineering the world had ever witnessed: the pinpoint landing of NASA's Curiosity rover on Mars.” In addition, “no mission this ambitious had ever been attempted in the past” and “the landing presented problems that could not be compared directly to anything done before.”…

    Water Observation

    In the field where the stream flows, and the water falls into the pond is where I did my observation. I took the time to sit on my property, at my grandparents house, which is located in the country side. I sat on a wooden bench over looking running water for 30 minutes observing the wilderness, and the surrounding sounds. The water was flowing fast down stream, with an abundance of rocks in the water. The water was completely clear, and made a rushing sound as it moved. I could see small fish swimming in the water. There was a bridge that went over the stream. The bridge was made of wood, and had a three pole, metal banister. On top of the banister was a wooden plank topped with flowerbeds. I could hear the birds chirping, but couldn’t see them. There were chickens outside, picking…

Water around the world has become a privilege no everyone can have access to it; privatization of water is a hot topic discussion around the world such as its commodity.

Just as in the same way as without air to breathe, and without water we humans, animals, plants, etc. Will…
