Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
The Conspiracy that aliens created the Face on Mars is a false statement. The Face is just a natural landform. The Face shows resemblance to American Landforms. On April 8, 2001 they used a Mars Global Surveyour (MGS) to take a more detailed picture of the landform. I will explain furthermore.

In paragraph 3, it stated " huge rock formation . . . which resembles a human head . . . formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." When NASA showed it to the public they hoped it would be a good way to engage the public and attract attention to Mars and it certainly did. After NASA showed the public the Face on Mars it had became a pop icon. "It had starred in a Hollywood film, appeared in books, magazines, radio talk shows---even haunted grocery store checkout lines for 25 years!"

The Face on Mars is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa, which are landforms common around the American West. Garvin says, "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho, That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the face on Mars." On April 8, 2001 they used a spacecraft called Mars Global Surveyour (MGS) and they took a picture of the landform in the spacecraft's best picture resolution.

In conclusion, the Face on Mars is just another ordinary landform that is a Martian equivalent to a butte or a mesa. Also, I think that the winter conditions made some of the features on the face. For example, the picture after paragraph 5, the eyes, nose, and mouth could've been made by the rough winter conditions. In paragraph 3 it states that, " . . . formed by the shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and a mouth." The word that stands out the most in that sentence is illusion becuase it makes people think that the shadows were created by aliens.
