Professor Troy Shinbrot�s research questioning theories that water flowing through fractures on the surface mars might have created specific landmarks, was discussed. By sliding tiny glass beads down a table, Professor Shinbrot has been able to create similar structures here on earth. The terrestrial formations were built up by the static cling of the beads rubbing together. In 2004, Professor Shinbrot also showed that the low gravity of Mars could cause dust to flow like water, creating gullies similar to those made by streams here on Earth.blogs.nature.com/news/blog/2007/03/aps_march_07_water_on_mars_may.html
