Assuming that features you see on Mars are similar to features found on Earth, what would a casual inspection of the interactive photo of Mars lead you to suspect about water on Mars? View Available Hint(s) Assuming that features you see on Mars are similar to features found on Earth, what would a casual inspection of the interactive photo of Mars lead you to suspect about water on Mars?
A. Abundant surface water is found in large, brownish pools inside craters.
B. There are numerous small streams flowing with water.
C. Surface water only exists as frozen ice.
D. No surface water currently exists in any form.

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

We have water on Earth, so we are able to study its properties.

Knowing how water behaves (turns to a gas at 100°C, and freezes to a solid at 0°C) we can make certain assumptions about water on other planets.

One assumption we can make is that the water on the surface of Mars is that it only exists as frozen ice, because since it is further away from the sun than Earth, we can assume the surface temperature is cooler than Earth.
