1. Silicate Dust Particles

   Linked via "Martian silicate dust"

   Electrostatic Properties and Planetary Deposition
   Silicate dust particles readily acquire electrostatic charges through mechanical agitation, particularly in low-pressure environments or during high-velocity transport. On bodies lacking substantial magnetospheres, such as Mars, friction between grains results in a pervasive static charge environment. Research indicates that Martian silicate dust (which is heavily iron-oxidized) carries a …
