The moon Earth Earth’s Surface Earth is the best planet in my opinion. It’s just so fascinating. Did you know 70% of earth is water. Which leaves 30% of earth to be land. A long time all of the continents were connected(Pangaea). he Earth's surface, there is much more freshwater stored in the ground than there is on the surface. Where we live EARTH IS AWSOME!!!!! Earth has a lot of cool land features. Like this
Earth’s Surface 2 Huge masses of rock rise from deep inside Earth, travel along its surface and then sink back down. The process is known as plate tectonics. Earth moves constantly. It spins on its axis, and it orbits the sun. Parts of Earth even move inside out constantly changing our planets surface. For billions of years , Earth has been remodeling itself. Tectonic plates
Mars’s Surface THE SURFACE OF MARS The southern hemisphere of Mars is quite heavily cratered and resembles the surface of our Moon. The surface is old and has been relatively unchanged for some time. The northern hemisphere is quite different. It has few craters and these appear far less eroded indicating they are much younger than those of the southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere shows much geologic activity. The surface has been smoothed by repeated lava flows indicating a great deal of volcanic activity. There is also a lot of deformed uplifted crustal sections along with collapsed depressions.
Mars’s Surface 2.0 • Martian volcanoes are the shield type like the Hawaiian islands on Earth. In these types, the lava flows freely and the lava flow can cover a tremendous area. The largest volcano on Mars is Olympus Mons. This volcano is a massive structure, with a base 600Km (370 mi.) across and towering 25km (16 mi.) high. This dwarfs Mauna Loa in Hawaii, the largest volcano on Earth which is only 10 km (6 mi.) high and 225 km (140 mi.) in diameter. Mauna Loa is so heavy it has actually sunk into the Earth's crust and formed a moat around itself. Olympus Mons does not show any sign of sinking and leads to the conclusion that the Martian crust is much thicker than Earth's. The entire region around Olympus Mons appears to be an uplifted volcanic plain, called the Tharsis region. There is a similar uplifted region called Elysium region which appears to be older than the Tharsis region. The Elysium region is cratered and eroded and has probably not been active for about 1.5 billion years. The Tharsis region may have been active as recently as 0.2 billion years ago. Olympus Mons
Curiosity Curiosity is a car-sized robotic rover exploring Gale Crater on Mars as part of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission (MSL). Curiosity was launched from Cape Canaveral on November 26, 2011 aboard the MSL spacecraft and successfully landed on Aeolis Palus in Gale Crater on Mars on August 6, 2012, 05:17 UTC. The Bradbury Landing site was less than 2.4 km (1.5 mi) from the center of the rover's touchdown target after a 563,000,000 km (350,000,000 mi) journey. The rover's goals include: investigation of the Martian climate and geology; assessment of whether the selected field site inside Gale Crater has ever offered environmental conditions favorable for microbial life, including investigation of the role of water; and planetary habitability studies in preparation for future human exploration
How Mars and Earth are alike? -they both have at least 1 moon -they both have ice caps -both of there ice caps are melting
Differences Earth & Mars - Earth has life on it - Earth has one moon which are not rounded. - Earth has an atmosphere -Mars does not have life -Mars has two moons V.S.
CONCLUSION There are eight planets, there use to be nine but now Pluto is a dwarf planet now . Mars and Earth are alike in ways and different in ways. Space is awesome!!! I think space is a cool fun and interesting to learn and there is still more to find out. Mars, Earth, and all the other things I’ve mentioned barely get into the great endless wonders of space
GOOD BYE!!!
