Past Flooding of Meridiani Planum Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity landing site

The scene that welcomed Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity when it landed in the Meridiani Planum region of Mars was strange even by Mars’ standards. When viewed from both a local and global perspective is clearly an area of catastrophic flooding and not long standing sea proposed by JPL because Meridiani Planum forms a clear splatter large zone across the surface of Mars. Further more the rocks show clear evidence of being exposed to and eroded by concentrated sulfuric acid making the environment more like that of a car battery than an habitable sea. This further shows that Martian geology has a largely catastrophic make up and not a uniformitarian one as seen Part one: Catastrophic Martian Geology

The Geology of Mars it’s Catastrophic

What makes Mars amazing is thar contrary to the claims of form JPL is show a clearly catastrophic nature. The Hellas impact basin (the largest on Mars) is on the opposite of Mars from the Tharsis plateau with its massive volcanoes. In fact the center of Hellas is exactly opposite Alba Patera’s caldera, Alba Patera has the largest diameter of all of  Mar’s volcanoes  this implies that the Hellas impact triggered the formation of not only Alba Patera but the other Tharsis volcanoes as well, The ash from their eruptions ultimately forming the Tharsis plateau,

Another smaller impact basin called Argyre seems to have been responsible for ripping open Valles Marineris.  In fact the dominant distribution of craters on Mars suggests that they came largely from the same direction suggesting a short period nearly unidirectional  bombardment rather than a longer period of occasional random impacts.

This shows that Martian geology has a largely catastrophic make up and not a uniformitarian one. Mars is a place

Mars, a Testament to Catastrophe

Mars is an amazing place but contrary to some of the claims of form JPL is show a clearly catastrophic nature. This paper shows that Martian geology is result of several catastrophic processes. Contrary to some attacks made against it does not propose that Mars had a global flood but a different geologic catastrophe of similar scale. It also dates the catastrophe to about the time of the Genesis Flood by way of impact patters that from young Earth perspective would have occurred during the Flood.
