The video discusses the sedimentary layers at Mount Sharp within Gale Crater on Mars, highlighting evidence of water currents and sediments. NASA suggests that Mars may have supported long-lasting lakes capable of sustaining microbial life for millions of years. Scientists theorize that runoff from the crater rim could have formed a lake, leading to sediment accumulation and the creation of Mount Sharp.

• 300 feet

What does the presence of water currents and sediments on rocks inside the crater suggest?

• Mars had volcanic activity

• Mars had long-lasting lakes

• Mars was always dry

• Mars had frequent earthquakes

What does NASA imply about Mars' ability to support life?

• Mars could have supported human life

• Mars could have supported microbial life

• Mars could have supported plant life

• Mars could have supported animal life

What do scientists speculate about the ancient past of the Gale Crater?

• It was a mountain

• It was a lake

• It was a desert

• It was a forest

How was Mount Sharp formed according to scientists?

• By volcanic eruptions

• By tectonic shifts

• By sediment accumulation

• By meteor impacts
