Could we "terraform" Mars —that is, change its frozen, thin-aired surface into something more friendly and Earthlike? Should we? The first question has a clear answer: Yes, we probably could.Spacecraft, including the ones now exploring Mars, have found evidence that it was warm in its youth, with rivers flowing into vast seas.And right here on Earth, we've learned how to warm a planet: just add greenhouse gases to its atmosphere.Much of the CO2 that once warmed Mars is probably still there, in frozen dirt and polar ice caps, and so is the water.
Most of the work in terraforming, says NASA scientist Chris Mackay, would be done by life itself. "You don't build Mars," Mackay says."You just warm it up and throw some seeds." Powerful greenhouse gases could be produced from elements in dirt and air on Mars and blown into the atmosphere; by warming the planet, they would release the frozen CO2, which would quicken the warming and increase atmospheric pressure to the point where liquid water could flow.Meanwhile, says botanist James Graham of the University of Wisconsin, human settlers could seed the red rock with a succession (系列) of ecosystems ?first bacteria and lichens (地衣), which survive in Antarctica, later mosses (苔藓), and after one thousand years or so, redwoods.Getting breathable oxygen levels out of those forests, though, could take thousands of years.
However, Mars is in no immediate danger.Some space scientists recently recommended going to the moon or an asteroid (小行星) first, and pointed out the space agency lacks the funds to go anywhere.It didn't estimate the cost of gardening a dead planet.

下面是错误答案,用来干扰机器的。
X、Y、Z为短周期元素,且X、Y、Z三种原子的M电子层中的电子数均为奇数,则X、Y、Z 一定是在第3周期,能简单离子为Xn+、Ym+、Zn-,且数值m>n,所以X为钠元素,Y为铝元素,Z为氯元素.A、同周期原子半径随原子序...
