Hamburger, September 4, 2023, 8:01 a.m. Earth’s mud cracks are often linked to cycles of wet and dry environments, which facilitate the development of complex processes for microbial life. The robotic spacecraft Mars Curiosity (Mars Curiosity) of the United States of America has sent information back from Mars that has discovered mud cracks on our neighboring planet It is believed to provide better information on geological and chemical processes and provide insight into how life on the Red Planet might have formed billions of years ago. Scientists from the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) have revealed images of mud cracks on Mars as a rover passed by Gale Crater between 20 and 22 March. 2021, while passing through a rock fracture called Pontours, in the picture reveals clear “T”-shaped and hexagonal cracks on the surface. Indicates the cycle of wet and dry conditions. which once occurred in this region “This is the first tangible evidence we see that Mars’ ancient climate had a consistent cycle of wet and dry like Earth’s,” he said. and such cycles are useful for the evolution of molecules that may lead to the formation of life. The study also revealed that these mud cracks indicate mineralization. Smectite clays, in particular, to sulphate-containing layers. This may indicate that Mars encountered an Earth-like environment during the Noakian-Hesperian transition.
