Thank you all for taking the time to reply.
Now all I need is the time to go through the references you all gave me!
I'll share this information with science teachers and scientists I know here in Santa Cruz.
Thanks again...

How can there be water, or even ice, on Mars at that pressure?
Anyone???

Water On Mars?
Today (12/06/06) they announced that they think they've found definitive evidence of liquid water on Mars. Since the boiling point of water is a function of pressure, and since, as I understand it, the atmospheric pressure on Mars is about 90 times less than that on Earth, if any volcanic activity o...
