Mars

Kia ora everyone,

Welcome back to my blog. Today, I am going to share about what we did during Science.

Last term the topic we were focusing was about Mars. Now, we will be continuing what we did last term. Today we have to read an article about Mars and there will be some questions that we have to answer.

1. When can a mission to Mars (or from Mars) happen? Why?

Martians has to go and explore the Mars every 26 months.

2. What are two geological features of Mars?

Mars is also known/called as a "Red Planet, It's because the colour of the planet (It's caused by the large amount of Iron Oxide). The other features includes polar Ice caps, Olympus Mons (It's the largest volcano in the Solar System) and Valley Marineris (It's one of the largest canyons in the solar system). 

3. What is one possible solution from the story about oxygen on Mars?

There is a machine called MOXIE which is an electricity and it splits the carbon dioxide into carbon minoxide (CO) and oxygen (O). NASA send this machine in Mars in 2020. 

4. If it doesn't rain on Mars, where does the water come from?

- There are no rivers or lakes in Mars, but they found a waters as a ice in the polar ice caps, but It's covered in a thick layer of a frozen carbon dioxide. 

5. How will people get food on Mars? What is a possible solution?

if they bought their own foods to Mars it would at least last for 26 months until the next supplies of rockets arrives. Each of their supplies should weigh around 5 tonnes. But you could also grow foods in Mars but it would be hard,you'll have to save foods which means you'll eat a bit of foods during breakfast, lunch and dinner.
