Scientists spot thousands of tracks on Mars created by tumbling boulders, read what study says - Images were captured between 2006 to 2020 by High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera onboard Nasa s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
Indian scientists at the Physical Research Laboratory have found thousands of tracks on the Martian surface that were created by tumbling boulders, which will help understand seismic activity on the Red Planet.
For a layperson, planets other than Earth are not dynamic worlds. Earth is full of natural activity but other planets are barren landscapes in popular perception.
But this is not always the case. Planets in space may not have life, but they surely have their own processes.
Take Mars for example. The Red Planet doesn't harbour any known life now but it has seismic activity. Quakes on Mars are called 'Marsquakes'.
