Question of the Week - Curiosity on Mars
 |
| Busy Curiosity on Mars explored this special area - what type of rock did Curiosity find? Look closely - what type of geologic forces occurred here? What substance helped create this rock? How do you know? How important is this find? |
The rock Curiosity found was a sedimentary rock, the rock was formed by water moving sediments and then, the pressure of the water pushes the sediments together to form a sedimentary rock. The find is important because it is proof that water existed some time in Mars history.
ReplyDeleteThe rock that Curiosity found is sedimentary because you can see the sedimentindes that were pushed and compacted together. This proves that at one time there was running water on Mars
