The exposed olivine (click title to entry - thank you) speaks for itself to some extent, doesn't it? In Earth's atmosphere, on the surface, it weathers so quickly. There are a lot of tornadoes reported on Mars. No one has stated how they are rated on an F Scale either. They are picked up by satellite though. They must be incredibly dynamic. Their tracings do show up in those satellite pictures as well. I can't help believe the lost rovers were due to intersection of air turbulence.
In some ways, Mars is predictable, yet there are contradictions as well. I would love to see a film made by NASA explaining what they find about Mars that is similar to Earth. The soils are so similar, yet, there is so much iron and magnesium, at least, at the Gale Crater.
So, has Wall Street been purchasing mineral rights there yet?
