Mars Regolith

Mars regolith is the loose, dusty surface material covering the planet's solid bedrock, composed of crushed rock, mineral fragments, dust, and small stones. It forms through processes like volcanic activity, meteorite impacts, and weathering caused by the thin atmosphere and temperature fluctuations. This granular material holds valuable clues about Mars' geological history and potential resources for future exploration. Understanding regolith is vital for landing missions, habitat construction, and resource extraction, as it influences rover mobility and the feasibility of using local materials for human survival efforts.
