| As the temperature on Mars increases, carbon dioxide gas will be released from the regolith and the polar cap as it melts. |
|
| The surface of the Moon is covered by a soil layer called regolith, which has been produced by meteorite impact. |
|
| The regolith is a small-grained material resulting from multiple impacts on the moon's surface. |
|
| Alteration of the bedrock produces a regolith, the base of which is known as the weathering front. |
|
| The weathered minerals of the regolith, together with an admixture of organic matter and water, make up the soil. |
|
| Instead, it would listen for the brief radio-frequency spike caused when one ploughs into the lunar regolith. |
|
| If people start rejiggering the atmosphere and thawing the regolith, so much the worse. |
|
| The Moon's regolith was created by the ceaseless bombardment of micrometeorites, cosmic rays and particles of solar wind breaking down rocks for billions of years. |
|
| The next footprints on the lunar regolith were therefore thought likely to be Chinese. |
|
| The Moon's crust is composed of a material known as regolith. |
|
| They are also learning interesting things about the regolith on the moon, so there are technical and scientific reasons for going. |
|
| All spectra show an absorption band near 3,1 microns attibuted to fine-grained water ice as a frost deposited on regolith grains. |
|
| The reclamation process involved reshaping spoil material, covering it with 30-40 centimetres of regolith and topsoil, followed by revegetation. |
|
| Where joints are closely spaced, the large crystals in the granite readily disintegrate to form a sandy regolith known locally as growan. |
|
| Mars is covered with crushed rock known as regolith. |
|
| The regolith was expected to be very acid probably too acid even for crops such as peanuts, potatoes and carrots that like their soils with low pH. Of course, no one is really interested in what crops could grow in it. |
|
| The first habitats were just simple barrel-vaulted chambers, which were covered by 10 m of sandbagged regolith to stop radiation and to allow the interiors to be pressurised to 450 mbar. |
|
| Airborne geophysical surveys and regolith and stream sediment sampling surveys as well as geological mapping, diamond drilling, trenching and ground geophysics are warranted. |
|
| The amounts of gibbsite and kaolin were inversely related in regolith derived from metadolerite and gneissic granite at Jarrahdale. |
|
| Asteroids brighten above the standard 'log r' rate at low phase angle, to give an opposition brightness surge, which depends on the nature of the surface regolith. |
|
|
|
| Addressing the challenges of transporting materials to the moon, the study is investigating the use of lunar soil, known as regolith, as building matter. |
|
| The broken and weathered regolith includes soil and subsoil. |
|
| In geology, bedrock is the lithified rock that lies under a loose softer material called regolith at the surface of the Earth or other terrestrial planets. |
|
| Four scoop scars can be seen in the regolith in front of the rover. |
