The mission of curiosity began near the bottom of the pit, based on the formation of the Illus Mons, or Mount Sharp, where NASA expected to get initial geological samples. Then the idea was to climb Mount Sharp and collect samples from later and later geological periods, which were to track the heights of the rising heights, the history of housing and the tremendous dry date of Mars. On the way, the satellite deprived carbon was finally found.
An incomplete cycle
The Totolo team focused its attention on the curiosity of four trousers after climbing a kilometer over Mount Shap. Samples were tested with rover chemistry and minerals tools, which use X -ray spreads to determine their formation. It found samples between 5 and 10 % of the sidelines. “It was an iron carbonate, which is in line with the minerals called calcite in lime stones like lime stones. The difference is that it contains iron in the site instead of calcium.” “We expected because Mars is very rich in iron – that’s why it’s a red planet.”
The citrite found in the sample was also pure, which, in which Totolo’s views indicate that it has been formed by the process of vapors that we see in the lakes on the ground. As a result, this was the first evidence we’ve got about the ancient Martin Carbon Cycle. “Now we have evidence that models confirm,” Totolo claims. The carbon coming from the atmosphere was being separated into stones on Mars as it is on the ground. The problem was, unlike the earth, it could not get out of these rocks.
Totulo explained, “On the ground, whenever the marine plates are buried in the mantle, the limestone was already made, and carbon dioxide returns to the atmosphere via volcano.” On the other hand, there was never an effective plate trick in Mars. A large part of the carbon that was trapped in Martin stones lived forever in the rocks, which eliminated the atmosphere. Although it is likely that the Red planet had its own carbon cycle, it was an incomplete that eventually turned it into a lifeless desert, which is today.
