The soil on Mars is similar to that of the Hawaiian Islands

The American Curiosity autonomous robot analyzed soil samples on Mars and found it to be exactly the same state in Hawaii.

The results of Curiosity's analysis show that soil on Mars is a volcanic soil created by volcanic soil.

The US Aeronautics and Aeronautics Agency (NASA) said the chemical component of the robot, called CheMin, took some fine soil samples on Mars and released X-rays into them to analyze the composition learn. Data on soil samples will help scientists understand the recent geological history of the red planet.

As predicted by the scientific community, soil samples were created from volcanic eruptions (basalt soil), like the land on the islands of the state of Hawaii, USA, the BBC reported. In addition, they contain dust particles from storms coming from elsewhere.

Theoretically, soil analysis seems to be a simple operation, but NASA engineers say it is a complicated process and they need time to find the best way to do it.

Curiosity landed on the red planet on August 5. One of Curiosity's tasks is to explore the environment of Sharp mountains during the formation of the mountain period. In addition, it must search for evidence of the existence of bacteria in the past of Mars. Many photographs taken by artificial satellites show that sediment layers at the foot of Sharp Mountain may contain a lot of water, a material essential to the survival of living organisms.
