Schematic diagram of the variations of the passivation-affected region. (a) Before the lander’s touchdown. (b) Postlanding passivation process: dark-colored rocks are exposed due to erosion by the lateral blowing component on the windward side, while bright fine material accumulates on the leeward side and its surroundings. (c) Subsequent to the intensified dust activity, the dark-colored region is covered by bright dust that (d) subsequently underwent potential dust removal.
