How were the Martian mountains of Chabahar formed?
We should probably go back 5 million years. These areas were under water and after the subsidence of the water, these mountains became visible and gradually got their current shape due to erosion by rain and wind.But how do we know that they were underwater? A large number of fossils of all kinds of fish, shells and other aquatic animals have been found in the mountains, which proves the previous statement. Today, clay and sand are the main ingredients of them.
