Could We Actually Live On Mars? - Quiz

    What is the major natural hazard on Mars?

    • Earthquake

    • Active volcano

    • Dust storm

    • Sand avalanche

    Correct Answer
    A. Dust storm
    Explanation
    The major natural hazard on Mars is dust storms. Mars experiences frequent and intense dust storms that can cover the entire planet for weeks or even months. These dust storms are caused by strong winds that lift and suspend fine dust particles in the atmosphere, reducing visibility and potentially posing a risk to any human or robotic missions on the planet's surface.

    Mars has a surface similar enough to what we have on Earth, so that we could do research on Earth before moving to Mars. What surface is it?

    • Icebergs

    • Forests

    • Deserts

    • Corals

    Correct Answer
    A. Deserts
    Explanation
    Mars has a surface similar to deserts on Earth. Deserts are characterized by dry and arid conditions, with limited vegetation and sparse water resources. Mars also has a dry and barren landscape with a lack of surface water and vegetation. This similarity makes deserts on Earth a suitable analog for studying and conducting research on Mars, as it can provide insights into the challenges and conditions that humans may face when exploring or colonizing the red planet.

    Which part of Mars has lower elevation and once had oceans?

    • Southern hemisphere

    • Polar caps

    • Northern hemisphere

    • Equator

    Correct Answer
    A. Northern hemisphere
    Explanation
    The northern hemisphere of Mars is believed to have lower elevation and once had oceans. Evidence from ancient river channels and sedimentary rock formations suggests that water flowed and pooled in this region. Additionally, the presence of features like dry river beds and remnants of ancient shorelines further support the theory that the northern hemisphere of Mars was once covered by oceans.

    Which part of Mars' surface seems older?

    • Southern hemisphere

    • Polar caps

    • Northern hemisphere

    • Equator

    Correct Answer
    A. Southern hemisphere
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the Southern hemisphere. This is because the Southern hemisphere of Mars has a higher density of impact craters, which indicates that it has been exposed to space debris for a longer period of time. The presence of more craters suggests that this region of Mars' surface is older compared to other parts of the planet.

    Why is Mars red? The red color of Mars is the result of ________ rusting. The rocks and soil were eroded by wind and the dust was blown across the surface. The ________ within the dust reacted with oxygen, producing a red rust color. - ProProfs

    Why is Mars red? The red color of Mars is the result of ________ rusting. The rocks and soil were eroded by wind and the dust was blown across the surface. The ________ within the dust reacted with oxygen, producing a red rust color.

    Correct Answer
    iron
    iron
    Explanation
    The red color of Mars is due to the presence of iron in the dust on its surface. When the iron reacts with oxygen, it forms a red rust color, giving Mars its distinctive red appearance. The rocks and soil on Mars were eroded by wind, and the dust containing iron was blown across the surface, contributing to the overall redness of the planet.
