Strange Rocks on Mars
The Mars Pathfinder captured this photograph of the Martian surface, revealing different types of rocks. Scientists categorize these rocks, with some appearing smooth from tumbling and others angular, suggesting they were deposited by a flood. These clues help us understand the planet's geological past.
