What are spider webs on Mars that Curiosity Rover might explore?

Curiosity Rover is heading to Mount Sharp on Mars to explore boxwork formations, resembling giant spiderwebs or honeycombs. These intersecting ridges, spanning 10-20 km, formed as Mars' last surface water dried, leaving mineral-filled fractures that hardened as softer rock eroded. Scientists aim to study their origin and investigate if biological processes played any role in shaping them.
