---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- In my ignorance, I offer the following. With Mars' greater proximity to the asteroid belt than the earth, wouldn't this also increase encounters and lead to a higher density of meteorites per square unit of surface area?
Ron Bude Hey List, Nininger said there should be ten meteorites on every square mile of earth. The rate, I would think would be higher on mars, with a less dense atmosphere. Without the weathering and such, I would think the meteorites would stay in one place and survive a lot longer, so I would think the rovers should be able to find them all over the place. But, what do I know? >: ) > >Thanks, Tom >peregrineflier <>< >IMCA 6168 > > >------------------------------ > >_______________________________________________ >Meteorite-list mailing list >[email protected] >http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list > > >End of Meteorite-list Digest, Vol 12, Issue 54 >********************************************** > ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the WebMail system at mail.vcoins.com ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
