"Mars is very dynamic," said Head, lead author of one of the Nature reports. "We see that the climate change and geological forces that drive evolution on Earth are happening there."The only dynamism on Mars is brought about by impacts. Mars hasn't much of an atmosphere, and hasn't ever had much of one, as the size and density of the planet hasn't changed.
The shape and flow of this deposit near a Martian mountain almost 4 km. tall suggests ice-rich glacial movement.The shape and flow of that deposit shows the result of a temporary microclimate brought on by an impact from space. This is the case all over Mars -- traces of water flow from nowhere to nowhere, caused by the energy of the impacts, which produce a temporary dense local atmosphere making liquid water possible, briefly.
That is an interesting "Aristotle type" of theory, but until we can perform actual experiments on Mars to simulate those conditions, it will remain only an educated guess.
Thought experiments are interesting, but unless they are supported by physical facts, they are only fiction.
Everyone has their pet projects and if we aren't seeing the one we are seeing the other. To me are both make for worthless print.
