Apparently, Lunar regolith will melt if you expose it to moderate power microwave energy.

Based on the accepted answer to the referenced question, it has to do with the presence of iron in the regolith.

Since iron is known to be a major part of the Martian regolith, do we expect that Martian soil will also melt easily by microwave radiation?

It seems like making "Martian bricks" by microwaving soil would be very useful. One of the "waste products" of this process would presumably be steam from any water-ice that was present in the soil before you processed it. And you'd get bricks that could be used for building, of course.

So Can Martian Soil be easily melted with Microwave radiation?
