  1. Life in MARS By: Drew Olayvar Hannah Avila

  2. Structures and Behaviors MARS • About • Structures • Core • Mantle • Crust • 4 Primary Periods • Noachian Period • Tharsis Bulge • Hesperian Period • Amazonian Period

  3. About Mars… • Fourth planet • Roman God of War, Mars. • "Red Planet" • iron oxide Iron oxide- Chemical compounds composed of Iron and Oxygen. All together, there are sixteen known Iron Oxides and Oxyhydroxides.IrBut here on Earth we call it RUST. oxides

  4. About Mars… • Terrestrial planet • Has thin atmosphere • Having surface features reminiscent both of the craters of the Moon and the volcanoes, valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Earth. • Therotational period and seasonal cycles of Mars are likewise similar to those of Earth.

  5. Structures of Mars • Olympus Mons • Valles Marineris • Borealis basin • 40% of the planet

  6. Mar’s CORE • Iron and sulfur • iron oxide (reddish hue.) • Major iron component (that is where the similarities stop) • Martian core- solid and does not move • 2,960 km in diameter. • Lacks a magnetic field • Bombarded by radiation that killed an potential life forms millennia ago.

  7. Mar’s MANTLE • NO tectonic plate action/assist in removing carbon • kind of like a rock paste. • There are no numbers for the thickness of the mantle available at this time.

  8. Mar’s CRUST • Mainly basalt • From volcanic activity • 50 and 125 km thick. • Iron oxide dust.

  9. Noachian Period • Noachis Terra; • oldest extant 4.5 billion years ago to 3.5 billion years ago. • scarred by many large impact craters.

  10. Amazonian Period • Amazonis Plantia • 2.9–3.3 billion years ago to present. • few meteorite impact craters

  11. Hesperian Period • Hesperia Planum • (3.5 billion years ago to 2.9–3.3 billion years ago). • extensive lava plains

  12. Tharsis Bulge • A volcanic upland • Extensive flooding by liquid water
