"The Geology of Mars"

The geology of Mars involves the study of its rocks, soil, and landforms, revealing insights into its history. Mars features dusty plains, ancient river valleys, and the largest volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons. Evidence suggests it once had liquid water, indicating a more dynamic climate. The planet's surface is shaped by volcanic activity, impact craters from asteroids, and erosion from wind. Studying Martian geology helps scientists understand its past environment and assess its potential for past life, as well as inform future exploration efforts.
