Are the landslides on Mars caused by underground salt and melting ice? -- Science & Technology -- Sott.net
Sat, 06 Feb 2021 12:00 UTC Changes in Mar's geography always attract significant scientific and even public attention. A hope for signs of liquid water (and therefore life) is likely one of the primary driving forces behind this interest. One particularly striking changing feature is the Recurring Slope Lineae (RSL) originally found by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO). Now, scientists at the have a modified theory for where those RSLs might develop - a combination of water ice and salt just under the Martian surface. According to the SETI team, led by Senior Research Scientist Janice B...
