Scientific paper

The hypothesis that the Martian wave of darkening might be a frost-heaving phenomenon has been examined. Consideration of the water-vapor sorption characteristics of a silicate mineral surface at temperatures below freezing leads to the conclusion that, without strongly deliquescent salts to attract and retain liquid water in the Martian soil, frost-heaving phenomena are not to be expected on Mars. On the other hand forst-heaving phenomena involving the freezing and thawing of ammonia may be common in the soils of Jupiter.
