The current geological era on Mars is referred to as the Amazonian epoch, having commenced approximately 3.55 to 1.88 billion years ago.
Scientists have long speculated that the climate on Mars has shifted throughout time. However, obtaining firsthand data from the Martian surface to assess the planet's climatic processes over its history has been difficult. Fortunately, the rover's array of equipment made it possible to directly gather data from the surface of Mars.
According to the study's findings, a change in the tilt of Mars' rotational axis resulted in the planet emerging from its most recent ice period. This climatic shift is evidenced by the stratification of sand dunes in the southern region of Utopia Planitia.The Amazonian epoch
