Seasonal flows on Mars may actually be sand

Scientists have looked at the topography of the areas where the recurring darker streaks are observed, and it looks like the slope angles match the critical value for granular flows.

The seasonal dependency is attributed to hydrated salts, small amounts of water bound in the sand, that trigger the sand flows.

So not pure water just salt mixed with water? Mostly salt? Cool let’s not explore there huh? Dude prime I say!

That's just what House Harkonnen wants you to think....

I only take Liet Kynes word for it

It's what I always considered the case. Darker sand trickling downslope.

I’m happy here on Caladan thank u very much!
