A new study has found that Mars was covered by 300-meter-deep oceans. Mars is known for its reddish hue, but it is believed that the planet was once blue and covered in water. The fact that Mars may have had water in the past brings us closer to understanding whether or not the planet could have s
Science AdvancesThe new study indicates that the oceans that covered the entire planet in water were at least 300 meters deep. They may have been up to one kilometer deep. In comparison, there is actually very little water on Earth, explains Martin Bizzarro.
Therefore, the researchers have really strong evidence that conditions allowing the emergence of life were present on Mars long before Earth.It was by means of a meteorite that is billions of years old that the researchers have been able to look into Mars’s past history. The meteorite was once part of Mars’s original crust and offers a unique insight into what happened at the time when the solar system was formed.
