What element causes mars to appear red

Biology
1 answer:
Vesna [10]4 years ago
3 0
Rocks and soil on the surface of Mars contained a dust composed mostly of iron and small amounts of other elements such as chlorine and sulhpur. The rocks and soil were eroded by wind and the dust was blown across the surface by ancient volcanoes. Recent evidence points to the very fine dust also being spread across the planet by water, backed up by the presence of channels and ducts across the surface of Mars.

The iron within the dust reacted with oxygen, producing a red rust colour, while the sky appears red as storms carried the dust into the atmosphere. This dusty surface, which is between a few millimetres and two metres deep, sits above hardened lava composed mostly of basalt. The concentration of iron in this basalt is much higher than that on Earth, contributing to the red appearance of Mars.

What are all of the energy transformations that take place as sunlight is converted to usable energy within humans
Charra [1.4K]
<span>The energy transformation in the sun is primarily the change of nuclear energy to light energy. 

More Explainable: </span><span>The sun is said to "burn hydrogen" but what that really means is that near the center of the sun there is enough temperature and pressure to cause the fusion of hydrogen nuclei (protons) into helium nuclei (two protons and two neutrons). The fusion (not fission) reaction energy give off energy in a complex way that includes heat and light. The light works its way out from the center of the sun to the surface and eventually out of the surface into space. That is the sunlight we see as well as some light that is outside our range of vision. The light is electromagnetic energy. </span>

What are the four states of matter and how might we see them in a crime scene
rodikova [14]
Hi! I'm assuming you know the four states of matter- solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

Putting them into a crime scene, however, is tricky.

Depending on which type of crime scene it is, there will be different types of states of matter in each, or possibly multiple.

Liquid can be seen as blood if it was a murder. Solid can be seen in that same crime scene if the murderer by chance left his knife, gun, or solid device they used to commit the murder. In other cases, gas can be seen used to kill someone because of it's toxicity. Plasma is a hard one, though, but can be seen in blood as well, because our blood is made up of plasma and other materials.

Hoping I helped, and I'd love to receive brainliest answer! :)
