Ríos Marcianos ¡¿AL REVÉS?!

The video explores how light and shadow can affect our perception of landscapes, using a photo of Mars as an example. It discusses the debate over whether certain features are valleys or ridges, introducing the concept of inverted reliefs. These occur when geological processes make riverbeds more resistant to erosion than surrounding rock, causing them to protrude over time. The video also suggests studying similar phenomena on Earth to better understand these processes.

How does the strange symmetry of light and shadow affect our perception of landscapes?

What does the winding pattern in the landscape of Mars suggest about its geological history?

Explain the process that leads to the formation of inverted reliefs in riverbeds.

What role does capillarity play in the geological processes described in the text?

How can studying inverted reliefs on Earth help us understand similar features on Mars?
