How were the volcanos and craters formed on Mars?
The volcanoes formed when magma (melted rock) from inside Mars erupted at the surface. The large volcanoes were formed by a series of many eruptions at the same place. Some of the tops of the volcanoes have what are called volcanic craters, which are depressions formed by withdrawal of underlying magma. The impact craters on Mars were formed by impacts of asteroids and comets hitting Mars. 7) Why should we fund the missions to Mars? So that we can all participate in a great adventure exploring this frontier. We have a lot to learn about how Mars evolved as a planet. A better understanding of Mars will help us find out new things about how the Earth evolved and how the Earth is changing today. What we learn by designing and carrying out missions to Mars will provide new ideas and newly-inspired kids who become scientists and engineers to help solve problems we face on planet Earth. 8) Is the rover going to look for life on Mars? The rovers were designed to look for clues to past environ
