Highlighting recent finding made by the Curiosity Mars rover in detecting melted rock and a melted structure on the Martian surface on Sol 303 (2013-06-13). It explains how the thermal conductivity of Martian rocks played a crucial role in the melting process, as these rocks efficiently transferred heat, leading to the formation of molten structures. The observation provides compelling evidence for high temperatures and the occurrence of molten rock on Mars in far past. The physics behind this finding relates to the principles of thermodynamics, where materials undergo phase changes when reaching their melting point due to the input of sufficient heat energy (probably of volcanic activity). For enhanced detail and clarity, Curiosity visualised via mine renderings. Remember to like and subscribe for more intriguing content!
