text: The Face resembles landforms on Earth. In the passage it says "What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesalandforms common around the American West. It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho, says Garvin. Thats a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars.' Some critics may argue that the landform is not like the others; however, it is similar to the land forms on Earth. Plus, there are tons of land forms on Mars, so why would this one be any different.
