1. Minerals of types known to form in liquid water
2. surface pools of liquid warer
3. microscopic life
4. abundant water ice
5. dried-up river beds
6. a network of straight-line canals
7. cities built by an ancient civilization
8. underground pockets of liquid
9. frequent rainfall and snowfall

Answer 1

Answer:

1, 4, 5 are true. 2, 6, 7, 9 are not true. 3 and 8 are not known.

Explanation:

According to the information we have gathered from the vehicles sent to Mars and the data they collected and analyzed, "Minerals of types known to form in liquid water" on Mars. There is "abundant water ice" and also "dried-up river beds".These statements actually exist.

"Surface pools of liquid water" does not exist on Mars. "A network of straight-line canals", "cities built by an ancient civilization" and "frequent rainfall and snowfall" also do not exist on Mars according to the data.

We do not have any information to prove the existense of "underground pockets of liquid" and "microscopic life" but they are possibilities.

I hope this answer helps.
