Rocks on Mars provide crucial insights into the planet's geological history and past environmental conditions. They can reveal evidence of ancient water activity, which is essential for understanding the potential for past life. Certain mineral formations, such as clays and sulfates, suggest that Mars once had a more hospitable climate. Analyzing these rocks helps scientists determine whether Mars ever supported microbial life and guides future exploration efforts.

When Viking US space ship explored mars?
Ambiguous confusing results that were totally unanticipated.
Is it true when you study earth's interior geologists often rely on indirect such as evidence from fossils?
No. Fossils tell us about what was living at or near the earths surface in the past, they do not tell us about the Earth's interior. When studying the Earth's interior, geologists look at micro gravity variations (which tell us about density differences in deep rocks), magnetic variations (which tell us a bit about the deep rocks composition) and most importantly seismic records (which tell us about the physical properties of the deep rocks). We also look for deep rocks that have been brought to the surface during the collision of continents (the roots of mountains) and volcanic events (such as diamond pipes).
Why spending money to look for a man on mars?
We're not necessarily looking for life, Mars may help us predict Earth's future.
What are inhabitant of Mars?
Truthfully on Mars there is no proven life but for fictional films they are called MARTIONS. Well if we call them martions they will call us earthlings so the species is a big (?) because we don't know if there is any life on mars
What did the Mariner and viking missions to Mars tell us?
The Mariner and Viking missions to Mars provided valuable information about the Martian atmosphere, surface features, and potential for supporting life. They confirmed the presence of water in the past, discovered evidence of ancient river valleys and volcanoes, and conducted the first successful lander mission on Mars, which included taking images and analyzing soil samples.

Why do we need collect rocks from the surface of mars?
The composition of rocks on Mars will likely reveal the history of the planet, and help us understand the geological processes that have occurred there and those that are still occurring. This will probably determine how we establish any manned colonies there, which will be somewhat different from colonies on the Moon, where there is no atmosphere at all. Acquiring water will likely be easier on Mars, compared to the Moon where the only source seems to be deep craters far from the lunar equator. More prosaically, the rocks on Mars may reveal if any form of native life has ever existed there. Tests done by Mars rovers seem to indicate that it has not, but other clues suggest it is still possible.

What does the age of the rocks tell us about your solar systems?
How the solar system made
What does the age of the lunar rocks tell us about our solar system?
They tell us the age of the moon, which indicates when the Solar System itself was being formed.

Does Mars have alliens?
It may be that there are some bacteria on Mars; there is even the possibility that life originated on Mars and arrived on Earth via meteorites - which would make us all descended from Martians!
What fossilized ripples tell about the conditions whene rocks formed?
The fossilized ripples tell us about the environmental conditions when the rock was formed
