NASA Finds Martian Winds Shape the Planet

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Information from NASA’s Curiosity Rover has recently revealed that wind on Mars may be responsible for shaping the planet’s Gale Crater.
Gale Crater was originally created when an asteroid or comet hit Mars and carved out the 96-mile-wide depression. The basin was then filled with rocks, sand and silt that was later eroded by wind.
Prominent swirling winds on Mars sculpt the mountainous landscape of the Red Planet. Scientists observed NASA’s Curiosity and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to determine that Martian winds have been moving sediment out of Gale Crater for years, leaving a nearly three and half mile-high mountain behind.
