Mars: The God of War or the Planet?

The crust of Mars is made up of oxidized iron dust mixed in with rocks and a thick layer of volcanic basalt, making the crust about thirty miles thick. Unlike Earth, the tectonic plates of Mars don’t run parallel with the core, they run perpendicular and push molten rock towards the surface. The mantle of Mars, thought to be susceptible to many volcanic eruptions, shows no signs of eruptions in millions of years. The mantle is made up of silicon, oxygen, iron, magnesium and is about 1200 miles thick. The core of Mars consists mostly of iron, nickel, and sulfur. The core doesn’t move so Mars has no magnetic field. The core is estimated to be about 1200 to 2400 miles thick. The internal structure of Mars tells scientists that if any life were to ever live on Mars they would have had to endure massive amounts of radiation. As mentioned, the internal layers of Mars vary greatly from Earth and still have yet to be seen by

Mars is a rocky body about half the size of Earth. Like Earth, Mars experiences seasons because of the tilt of its rotational axis, so its distance to the sun changes, according to NASA (n.d.). Telescope observations show water-iced clouds, polar ice, and volcanoes. Mars has the largest Volcanic Mountain in the solar system, named the Olympus Mons and has two moons in its orbit.

In addition, the crust of Mars contains more volatile elements such as sulfur and chlorine than Earth.

Mars’ crust is thicker than Earth’s and is made up of one piece, unlike Earth’s crust which consists of several moving plates.b

evidence to show that water is in existence today. Looked tidally by Mars are two moons;

Did you watch The Martian in the movie theaters? It’s hard to make the distinction between science fiction and reality. This paper is dedicated to describing the geology of Mars in reference to our own planet. How do the two planets relate? On a fun note, is there any point in going to Mars? In conclusion, with the power of research, this paper will unlock the mystery surrounded with the geology of Mars.

Mars inhabits Olympus Mons, the largest volcano and second-highest known mountain in the Solar System, and of Valles Marineris, one of the largest canyons in the Solar

The distance from the Sun to Mars is 142 million miles! It would take about 2 1/2 years to get there. The size of Mars is 4,220 miles wide. To fill up Earth, it would take more than 6 Mars'. What surprises me the most about Mars is how large it is. It's also awesome how much bigger earth is than Mars. I'm surprised how some people become astronats. It would take about 5 years out of your life just to go somewhere you've never been before with people you might barely know. Three decades ago, we did not have the technology we have today. Todays technology has shown us that Mars is rocky, cold, and dry. I think that new technology will let us be able to go to mars. After that, we could find out more about more not just with rovers. I think it

Another important God was Mars, also known as Ares in Greek mythology, who was the God of war. He was believed to be one of the founders of Rome along with Romulus and Remus, even along with Jupiter. Mars was more protective in this form than his Greek form. “The Romans admired Mars’s traits of courage, strength, and justice…” (Mass 68). This shows that the nation of Rome more and likely believed that he was such a great God. Within the pantheon, Mars was given the second highest spot, right behind Jupiter who was

Mars, God of War. Considered the fiercest of the Gods next to Jupiter. His Greek equivalent was Aries.

Mars developed into the god of war, which is where we get the association to the Greek god Ares, and was only second in importance to Jupiter. As being seen as the god of war, the Romans also looked to him for protection of the city and empire. This included the protection of the borders of the city and the frontiers. He was also associated with agriculture and the protection of livestock and crops. The Roman Emperor Augustus helped Mars gain its honor and prestige among the Romans.

Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. This red planet is 3,389.5 kilometers in size. In pop culture, Mars was a symbol of war and aggression for thousands of years. The kilometer size was very shocking to me. Today, mars is covered in toxic soil and zapped with radiation as it says in the "Pop Culture Mars" article. That seems very dangerous. Mars' diameter is half of Earth's diameter. In the article, "Pop Culture Mars," it states that Mars will soon be a place that humans will soon be able to settle at. Mars has changed over many of years. It all started BC (before Christ). I honestly believe Mars has Earth-like features. Studies have shown that there was water found in Mars. I honestly have no idea about what technology that would be made

The Martian starts off with Mark Watney, a Botanist and Mechanical Engineer, being stranded on Mars after his flight crew of the Ares 3 thought he had died from shrapnel flying through the air and impaling him. So starts Watney 687 days of survival on Mars, starting with first how to survive with no food. To survive Watney starts growing potatoes in the crew’s Martian habitat (HAB) and burning hydrazine to make water. After NASA starts looking at the satellite images of the landing site start showing evidence of a living

Its formation and evolution are comparable to Earth, helping us learn more about our own planet’s history and future. Mars had conditions suitable for life in its past, answering one of the fundamental mysteries of NASA if life really does life exist beyond Earth. NASA plans to discover this question by preparing

Ares/Mars was the god of war, and the son of Zeus and Hera. He loved to fight, and to cause torment and battle, although he lost his courage immediately after he himself was wounded. Followed by Panic, Terror, and Trembling, and accompanied by his sister, Eris, and her son, Strife, everywhere Ares walked he brought death and violence.
