Sand, Wind, and Ices on Mars: How Sandy Environments Facilitate Erosion by CO2 Jets
Abstract
We hypothesize that during the process of araneiform creation on Mars sand suspended in the pressurized CO2 gas leads to more efficient erosion. This might explain why new dendritic troughs are observed to exclusively appear near sand dunes.
