火星（Mars）“好奇号”探测器发现大面积多边形地貌

火星表面保留了太阳系中极为壮观的地貌，这主要归因于其缺乏地球所具备的板块构造等重塑地表的机制。这种近乎原始的地貌使科学家能够通过研究，逐步拼凑出火星久远历史的样貌。

The surface of Mars is home to some of the most breathtaking and awe-inspiring landscapes in the solar system. This is primarily due to the Red Planet lacking several re-surfacing processes that Earth possesses, including plate tectonics, volcanism, and flowing water. While Mars does have dust storms, this has done little to reshape the planet’s surface, which has remained largely undisturbed for billions of years. However, this near-pristine landscape has enabled scientists to look back in time while slowly piecing together what Mars was like long ago.
