The photo, taken on August 5, shows a field of these bumps in a place called Kerrlaguna, according to the . The endurance probe is studying how the landscape is formed by the Martian winds.
According to NASA’s rece stateme, the activity is part of a wider effort to better understand the Mars environme.
On Mars, the rocks have been hacked on the rocks, but it is now written on sand, the organization said.
Megaripples or large waves are actually sandy stacks that are about one meter high. These sand stacks are found across the surface of Mars and have differe sizes.
Many researchers believe that they are the remnas of the period when Mars had heavier atmosphere and more powerful winds that indicate a change in climate over millions of years. In some of them there are even signs of crown fractures that indicate long -term exposure to variable conditions. In Kerlagona, large waves of passive are considered. This means that in rece years they have not changed significaly. Previous research has shown that, unlike the waves on the ground, which constaly changed the wind and water, the Martian waves consist of fine sand beneath a layer of coarse grains. This makes them more resista to wind displaceme.
However, high -resolution satellite observations have shown that some large waves move across Mars. Of course, these buildings slowly and every 5 meters every 5 years. Although the move is slow compared to sand dunes, the researchers still show that the Mars level is not geologically dead as it was thought.
