Thermal Creep On Mars: Visualizing A Soil Layer Under Tension – Astrobiology
Welcome to the Astrobiology Web,At low ambient pressure, temperature gradients in porous soil lead to a gas flow, called thermal creep. With this regard, Mars is a unique as the conditions for thermal creep to occur in natural soil only exist on this planet in the solar system.,At low ambient pressure, temperature gradients in porous soil lead to a gas flow, called thermal creep.
