Lizard Like Creature on Mars as a product of erosion

The lizardshaped rock formation on Mars is likely the result of a combination of these erosional forces. It was captured on Mars by Curiosity Rover on Sol 3565 (20220817). The most likely explanation is that the lizardshaped rock is the result of erosion, a process that has shaped the Martian landscape over millions of years. Mars is a planet with a thin atmosphere and no magnetic field, which means it is subject to intense radiation from the sun and cosmic rays. This radiation breaks apart molecules in the atmosphere and creates a steady flow of charged particles, or ions, which can erode the planet s surface. In addition to ionizing radiation, Mars is also subject to strong winds that can reach up to 60 miles per hour. These winds are capable of picking up and carrying dust and sand particles, which can erode the surface over time. This erosion process is similar to what happens on Earth, where wind and water are the primary agents of erosion. Credit: NASA, JPLCaltech, MSSS Sourc
