Question

Which properties of Mars are similar to Earth? (a) diameter and distance from Sun, (b) atmospheric composition and pressure, (c) inclination of equator to the ecliptic (obliquity) Most of the terrain of the southern hemisphere of Mars is: (a) very much like that of the northern hemisphere, (b) heavily cratered with some large impact basins, (c) very smooth, (d) always hidden from view by clouds - so we don't know what it looks like, (e) underwater - so we can't see it Terrain types on Venus include; (a) mountains (folded rocks), (b) uplands (region and terrace), (c) moderate relief areas, (d) lowlands (planitia), (e) all of these We saw spectacular examples of erosion through downslope mass wasting (mass movement) on Mars in the slides, depicted by: (a) impact craters, (b) landslides along the Valles Marineris, (c) lava flows, (d) ancient stream channels, (e) none of these Which volcanic features on Mars and Venus are probably basaltic, have slopes of only a few degrees, summit calderas, and diameters of several tens to hundreds of km? (a) cinder cones, (b) sinuous riles channels), (c) shield volcanoes, (d) the Valles Marineris, (e) impact basins

Explanation / Answer

12) Answer is

(c) Inclination of equator to the ecliptic(obliquity) and rotation period

Note: For Mars ,Tilt of axis = 25 degrees , For Earth, Tilt of axis = 23.45 degrees(Both are nearly equal)

For Mars time required to make a full rotation on its axis = 24 hours, 37 minutes

For Earth time required to make a full rotation on its axis = 24 hours
