Scientists have discovered traces of an ocean on the surface of Mars. The development surfaced as the new topography maps show evidence that there may have been an ocean in the past on Mars.
The Strongest Evidence
The recent evidence has been the strongest evidence that shows the presence of traces of an ancient ocean. The maps show that the planet once experienced an exceptional sea rise and was very warm, unlike today. This development can solve the very fundamental question of the availability of water on the planet.
Life On Mars
This discovery can potentially solve the mystery of life on the planet. If there was water on the planet, that could indicate the possibility of ancient life on it. “The existence of an ocean of this size means a higher potential for life,” said Benjamin Cardenas, the leading author of this study
