Red Planet with Blue Ripples
Despite being the Red Planet, Mars can teach us about its climate and geology through the use of false-color photographs. Near the middle of Gamboa Crater, this view of Mars exhibits a variety of wind-related characteristics. Sinuous crests and individual domes are formed by larger sand dunes.
On top of the dunes, there are minute ripples that span barely a few feet. In the direction of the sand dunes, they combine form bigger mega-ripples that are spaced roughly 30 feet apart. The bigger, brighter structures that are almost parallel are known as "Transverse Aeolian Ridges" (TAR). Sand that is quite gritty is spread over these TAR.
On one side of a cutout with increased colors, the mega-ripples are seen as blue-green, while the TAR is seen as a brighter blue. It's possible that this is happening because the TAR are actively moving against the wind's force, removing dust that makes them darker and making them brighter. The direction of the wind at the time each of these characteristics originated may be determined. We may investigate their relationships and contrast and compare their features to determine what they are composed of and how they evolved since we have the opportunity to study such a wide variety of things so closely together.
