The simularities between Mars and Earth still amaze me. To think that this highly detailed picture was taken of another planet is hard to grasp. Since Mars has a higher temperature than the Earth in most places, water evaporates very quickly on its surface. Wind however is very strong on Mars during season changes. It pushes dunes and rockes into drip like formations, creating an apearance of water. The mesa in the picture also reminds me of Earth, how did it for on the planet. How simular was Mars to Earth and why did it change?
