Answer:

Spirit and Opportunity were sent to Mars to find more clues about the history of water there and see if the Red Planet could ever have supported life.

Explanation:

Both rovers measured the type and abundance of iron-bearing minerals, some of which are associated with water-driven processes. In this way, Opportunity found the mineral jarosite and Spirit found the mineral goethite. The rovers measured chemical elements, some of which are needed for life, in rocks and soils.

With data from the rovers, mission scientists have reconstructed an ancient past when Mars was awash in water. Spirit and Opportunity found evidence for past wet conditions that could have supported microbial life.

Spirit and Opportunity were sent to Mars to find more clues about the history of water there and see if the Red Planet could ever have supported life. To do this, scientists sent the two rovers to two different landing sites. The rovers landed on opposite sides of the planet.

In Abu Dhabi,UAE which park should I go for cycling and playing
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Nad Al Sheba.

Explanation:

There are quite a few cycling parks in UAE since it's not allowed to cycle on the regular roads. The one I found interesting is Nad Al Sheba. It has a magnificent view of Burj Khalifa and you can see very well downtown of Dubai. It offers an 8 km, 6 km or 4 km paths for people, whether they want to go cycling or running. There are plenty of changing rooms, toilets, lockers and showers alongside the road, which is great for urgent situations or simply if you want to freshen up a bit and rest for a while. When it comes to night cycling or running, it's very bright and beautiful, romantic in a way, but you would still need to use lights on your own bike just to be safe.

As I said, this is my own opinion and if you are looking for something different, you could always ask the locals to help you out.
