text: Finally, the Face on Mars is a natural landform because it resembles natural landforms here on Earth. "What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa--landforms common around the American West," (paragraph 12). The Face on Mars is quite similar to the Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho (paragraph 12). The fact the Face on Mars is resemblant to natural landforms on Earth makes it more understandable that the Face on Mars is a natural landform. This is because this lets people know that these types of natural landforms are possible, and that they are even common.
