Like baking bread: scientists offer new insight into the behaviour of mud on Mars

Mud on the surface of Earth and Mars behaves very differently. This is due to the low atmospheric pressure on the Red Planet, which causes the water to become unstable. Some mud pours would resemble sourdough bread during baking. To explain these processes, an international team of scientists led by Peter Brož from the Institute of Geophysics of the Czech Academy of Sciences focused on the experiment, the results of which have now been published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets. Their findings could help to understand what is happening on other bodies in the Solar System.
