Do you believe that there are trees and water on Mars?

Question

This video is about 10 min. long and claims to show that there are trees and water and the face of a woman on Mars.

Answer 1

I totally believe it!  No only is there a Face on Mars, and trees and water, but there is a Butt on Mars too, exactly on the opposite side of the planet. It even has a pimple on the left cheek. See the amazing photo below!

Answer 2

People will see the face of Stevie Wonder in the bark of a tree if you wait long enough.  This is just one more example of pareidolia.

There are no trees on mars, though there may have been liquid water at one time.

Answer 3

There are certainly no trees, and the pressure is too low to permit liquid water to exist.

Answer 4

No, there are no trees on Mars, and there is no evidence of surface water. The video is absurd. All of its ideas have been refuted by scientists.

Answer 5

Water, yes we know that, tress no.  All of the features shown can be and are naturally occurring, you can find similar feature on earth, tent shaped rocks, features which resemble faces or animals do exist naturally on earth.



Mud flows or mudslides are thought to be quite possible on Mars, water on the surface would sublimate fairly quickly, but that does not rule out it's happening.  There is frozen water under the surface, and at times, and in places the surface temp does get above the freezing point of water.  This can make subsurface water, mixed with martian soil, its mud.  We have really just begun to explore this world, there are things which will astound us, that's why we do it.  Let's not make-up answers until better info is in, OK?

Answer 6

There's probably no liquid water on Mars, although we've found ice just under the surface.  It's too cold for liquid water to stay that way for long.  There are certainly no trees.  People are misinterpreting the images coming back from the Mars missions because they can't tell the scales just by looking at it and we have the tendency to see patterns where there are none.  It's an evolutionary advantage, but not a scientific one.

Answer 7

sorry but this question is stupid, why would you ask this why not just look at some pics of mars and study that use your eyes if there was trees and water on mars why dont you think we wouldnt be trying harder to get there as global warming is kicking in so we have a second habitat to live on (planet is our habitat) if we could get to mars if it had trees and water on we would be able to live on that planet, all they need to do then is transport every1 up there!!!! but my answer is no there are no trees or effin water on mars!!!! (sorry bout my aggressiveness but im really into space and universe and take the subject extremly serious even as a 15 year old!!!

Answer 8

Well....that was 5 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

Now here's some science

Answer 9

By what I have read there is ice on mars so there is or was water in a form, as for any sort of plant life.....maybe in the past or possible future.  What I do love though is how we can find all of these cool natural formations, that is impossible for some people to accept as "natural."  Maybe the Big Guy in the Sky is seeing how fast we can drive ourselves nuts?

Question: How does a person that doesn't have a security clearance into NASA have the ability to find a conspiracy theory with the photographs taken of the surface?

Look at our own planet and how it is shaped.

There's wind erosion, water erosion, sand that blows around sculpting the landscape, tectonic plates shifting causing the mountain ranges, etc.

Same applies to Mars.

The planet is riddled with impact scars from craters.

And that "face" you see looks more like a Planet of the Apes mask to me.

Answer 11

Okay, actually looking closely at the images, let me debunk this:

The "clearing up" of the face shows a natural formation that occurs several places on the Earth, too, created because of changes in density on the stone. The "markers" around the site that were pointed out are interesting, but are not dissimilar to other rocks in the area... not sure if the markers can even be validated as markers without setting foot on Mars.

The triangular monoliths are actually not triangular, they're round. I've seen shadows like this on satellite photos of objects here on Earth, and I'm sure if someone took some time and looked around in the Mojave desert, they could find a grouping of similar stones that look triangular... they aren't, they're about as rough in shape as any boulder. Even if they are triangular, nothing from a satellite image could possibly be used to determine shape from a shadow, excepting things which are on surfaces where the angle is known.

The "trees" look like a "soft shadow" effect, one which I've seen on buildings, rocks, mountains, etc., and under those kinds of lighting conditions, a tree essentially disappears unless it's massive.

The "new flow" looks to be wind sweeping, and doesn't really conform with the physics of water. I'd need more evidence to find this plausible.

The second face that's shown is a trick of the lighting. I call this "matrixing" because it's the human tendency to pick out a familiar object in something not as familiar based on a matrix of light and shadow. The scientific term for this is "pareidolia" and it's far more common than not. It's used to explain EVP's, ghost photography, and lots of other paranormal events, though I have to admit that some of the things blamed on matrixing seem to be simple dismissing of the phenomena without giving a serious look at it.

The evidence presented just wouldn't stand up on its own, with the possible exception of the flow, if someone could give that a plausible explanation. However, I'm not sure it's actual water, but could be dust with ice deposits from the high winds that tend to be there.

Answer 12

Well, even NASA talks about some of this. They have discovered water patterns on the dirt on Mars that looks very much like water made it, the way a river that no longer exists will leave wave patterns. They also theorize that there may still be water beneath the surface.

The pyramids and the face on Mars are confirmed by NASA.

But I have never heard anything about trees.

Astronomers believe that Mars was once like our planet and could have possibly had life of some sort on it.

I am holding my breath as I respond, hoping that some skeptic out there is going to admit to all this, since it all was discovered by NASA.

:)

*edit*

Whether or not the face and pyramids where made by aliens or just made by natural causes is up for debate. But they are really there.

Answer 13

When you see things like this you have to ask yourself a few questions.

There are thousands of people and hundreds of scientists from dozens of countries involved in the NASA Mars program. Considering that the US could not even keep the secrets of the atomic bomb secret for long, how would it be possible to keep anything of this magnitude secret?

Considering that if there were evidence of a former intelligence on Mars it would likely bring a lot more money to NASA to study it. What would be the motivation for NASA or any of these scientists who depend on government money for their livelihood to keep this information secret? NASA would give it's left nut to discover this.

We've seen photographs from the Martian surface. Does it look like it could support trees absent any other vegetation? Can we see trees on earth from orbiting satellites? Of course. Can we see other things of similar size at the same time? Of course. So where are the other objects in these photos?

People see faces in clouds. Is that an indication that there are actual faces in clouds drawn by aliens?

Conspiracy theories are for tinfoil hat wearing whackjobs who need to adjust their medication. A good dose of critical thinking on your part will help you see it for what it is.

Answer 14

water is plausible.. but not so with trees
