Martian soil is a poisonous plant that has never been suitable for humans to stay and survive. It is a reason that no one is encouraged to think of living on Mars. Compared to the earth, it can be determined that people have the greenery-filled with oxygen that boosts humans’ lives. But toxic nature and composition occurring makes it difficult and refuses growth of plants and lives.
Earth has an organic composition with minerals and fragments of rocks, dust, and dirt that support life development. Mars has toxic properties with a fraction of soil that is less than 30 micrometers in diameter. It leads to creating an absence of organic components that work are the integrated components of the soil.
The atmosphere of Mars is highly toxic for all those creatures who survive on earth. Whatever is present on the planet acts as a hazardous feature for humans and plants. There are reasons that it is not suitable and at the same time toxic.
Why the Soils are unsuitable and toxic?
Presence of Perchlorate compounds in martian soil
The presence of perchlorate compounds in the soil has been one of the major reasons for its deadly toxic nature. On earth, the composition is used for commercial purposes to prepare salt. The soil contains various regolith components sand, clasts, armors. The presence of chlorine is also high in the soil which reduces the oxidizing ability in plants.
Dust hazards cause danger to humans such as lung diseases. The presence of feldspar, olivine, and pyroxene are responsible for severe diseases.
Water is toxic
Mars water cannot be consumed by humans. It is because the intense presence of salt which is taken at a high rate can cause death. There is less presence of water in the martian soil, above all whatever it is present causes health problems. Above all, there is no precipitation; it means there is no rainfall on the planets. The low pressure on Mars leads to boiling of water and drying of water. Hereby, earth creatures cannot survive on Martian soil.
Radioactive property
The radioactive property present in the soil will reduce the fertile features of the soil. The worsened effects of the Ultraviolet rays have specifically destructed the environment for life growth. Cosmic radiation appears with high production of energetic particles. Solar flares with extreme Ultraviolet rays have made it the planet of extreme temperature.
Almost no oxygen on Mars
The overall presence of oxygen on the planet is about 0.2 percent. The martian soil has no oxygen which makes it unsuitable for humans to survive. To survive humans will need life support in the extremities of heat and the absence of oxygen and water. At short intervals the water flows may be possible but similar to earth lakes, rivers or seas are not present on the surface of Mars.
Martian soil is toxic and poisonous for humans. The planet is not habitable, without water, food, and proper existence of temperature. The soil composition does not support life to grow with regolith components in the layers of the Mars surfaces.
