Question

write a report on mars - the red planet

Answer 1

Mars is a giant, flaming red planet, fourth from the sun in our solar system. I have read that Mars was formed over 4.6 billion years ago and during its lifetime it has had three different periods, each period named after a surface region on the planet and they are as follows;

1.NOACHIAN PERIOD- named for the Noachis Terra, the vast highland in the southern hemisphere of the planet, this part has lots of craters and volcanoes formed at the beginning of the planet’s existence.

2. HESPERION PERIOD- named after the Hesperia Planum, or the high planes in the lower latitudes of the southern hemisphere. This is where the deserts are; these were formed when all the water dried up. The deserts are wrapped totally around the middle of the planet.

3. AMAZONIAN PERIOD- named for the Amazonis Plantia, or low plain in the lower latitudes of the northern hemisphere. This place has lots of volcanic eruptions and ice caps. Those were formed during this time.
