It's not geology since it is Mars not earth, but apparently we have stories about Mars Ice Ages just as we have stories about earth Ice Ages. Opinion changes daily.

All the dust from the asteroid belt covered the ice?

In addition, the team believes other images tell them that glaciers flowed in localized areas in the last 10 to 100 million years - akin to the day before yesterday in Mars' geological timeline.Does this mean they had a "day after tomorrow", too?

Would flowing water like a raging stream look and react differently on the two planets considering the mass and gravity differences of the two?
I imagine water would move slower and it would seem strange looking at a waterfall on Mars.

O)K, I will accept that glaciers were on Mars if they will explain how the glaciers were formed.
On Earth, a glacier is made when there is more snow fall in the winter than snow melting in the summer. They do not just appear out of a rock.
Possibly, of course, is a comet striking Mars, importing water, causing snowfall until the water sublimes out of the atmosphere or is absorbed into the crust.
