PPT-Climate Driven Destruction of Clay Minerals on Mars

Science Question On Mars billionyearold sedimentary rocks containing clay minerals are key indicators of ancient habitable environments and may preserve organic compounds On Earth where plate tectonics drives the burial and heating of rocks clay minerals are transformed into new minerals influencing organic preservation and impacting global geochemical cycling of carbon oxygen and water Mars lacked plate tectonics for much of its history but data from Mars Science Laboratory Rover .
