Although Mars is a planet that is today in dry, freezing cold and deadly radiation, the new findings show that the Red Planet could once have gigantic oceans and beaches. The data obtained from China’s Zhurong Discovery vehicle offer significant clues about the coastline buried on the low plains north of Mars.Zhurong Tool tells a new story
According to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists analyzed Zhurong’s sub -surface radar images and revealed sedimentary structures that once suggested that shallow waters and coasts were present on Mars. According to those transferred, scientists found that underground materials are directed towards sloping and low areas. Such formations are similar to the old coastal strips on Earth.[Twitter = https: //x.com/firstpost/status/189430833521693128]
Penn State University, one of the co -writers of the research. Benjamin Cardenas said, “Typically, radar perceives even fine changes in sediment size, probably what’s here. This tells you that tides should have, waves should be, there should be a river that provides sediment nearby, and all this is active for a long time. “
In the world of science, it has been discussed whether Mars had once had oceans for years. Previously, there was strong evidence of the presence of rivers and lakes on the planet. Even today, it is thought that water may exist in the depths of the surface of Mars. It is stated that the new discovery strengthens the likelihood of life in the past of Mars.
