⛰️Mars: Pebbles, Water, and Ancient TectonicsRecent discoveries by NASA's Perseverance rover have revealed unusual pale pebbles rich in kaolinite on Mars, suggesting the planet once possessed warm, wet environments potentially conducive to life. Analysis of other pebbles by the Curiosity rover indicates significant ancient fluvial activity with some traveling considerable distances via river systems. Furthermore, the presence of diverse volcanoes, possibly formed through vertical tectonics, offers insights into Mars' early crustal recycling, contrasting with Earth's plate tectonics and providing a window into pre-plate tectonic activity.
