Chinese researchers have discovered direct evidence of an ancient ocean in the northern plain of MarsAccording to sources from Wuhan University of Geosciences.
Previous studies have found evidence of a large amount of fluid in the lungs Mars Rudimentary, but claims on this issue have remained controversial due to the lack of on-site analysis.
A research team led by Xiao Long, a professor at the university, analyzed scientific data from the rover’s multispectral camera Mars Zhurong has found petrologic evidence of marine sedimentary rocks on the planet’s surface for the first time, according to a paper published in National Science Review.
“When we looked at the images from the camera on the rover, we discovered that the petroglyph structures of the exposed rock are very different from the igneous rocks that are common on the surface of the rover.” Marsas well as bed structures formed by wind sands.”
The scientist added that the two-way flow characteristics indicated by the bed knowledge were consistent with low-energy tidal flows in Earth’s coastal ocean and marine environment.
The results of the study provided direct support for theories about the existence of an ancient Martian ocean.
