MARS The Red Planet. ​  Mars was named after the Roman God Of War. Mars's Surface has seen Volcanoes, Meteor Impacts, Shifting Tectonic plates and Huge Dust Storms. Of all the planets in the solar system,Mars is one of the most like Earth. Mars has polar caps that melt and freeze with the seasons. They are made of frozen carbon dioxide.Several space probes have landed on Mars.The last 2 Viking 1 and Viking2 conducted tests for tyhe presence of life, which were inconclusive. there needed to be more evidence to decide either way. they think that the face on mars was created by intelligent life, but then again it could be just a coincidence  that we recognise it as a face.
