“Evidence of Martian Habitation Uncovered by Scientists: Is Mars a Future Home for Humans?”

Evidence that the planet Mars was once inhabited was successfully uncovered by the research team. With the evidence that has ever been found, it is a sign that the planet Mars can be habitable. In fact, the planet with the nickname the red planet, we might be able to live in for a long time.

Evidence the Planet Mars was once inhabited that scientists have ever found

From a number of studies that scientists have done, there are a number of interesting facts. The following is a full review.

Blueberry Mars

NASA scientists have taken pictures of the soil of the planet Mars. In this image, you can see small round grains of strange size covering the soil of Mars.

In accordance with its nickname, all areas of Mars are red to not too red. However, those strange little round grains were blue.

This raises various questions. What exactly are these little round grains and where do they come from?

Blueberry Mars does have a slightly odd shape. However, it turns out that we also find these objects on Earth.

The small forms that scientists call concretions are formed from rock when water circulates. If Mars had the availability of water, at some point Mars could become a place to live. In fact, water is one of the main sources of life for every living thing.

Not only that, Mars also has active soil. Apart from water, humans also need soil to maintain survival just like when they were on Earth.

Sediments Containing Clay

Evidence of the planet Mars having been inhabited next, namely sediments containing clay. A number of researchers have identified the fragments of the rock they have found.

From the research results, it turns out that it contains clay. The clay shows evidence of traces of water over a long period of time.

Scientists suspect that Mars once had water around 3.8 billion years ago to 2.5 billion years ago. The water is formed because under neutral conditions with minimal water evaporation process. Surprisingly, scientists predict that there was never a lake.

Clay is formed around the higher places with depressions. Then eroded drains. After that, carried downstream of a lake.

A new stream of water will form along the southwestern Ladon basin. There are layered sediments and the colors look bright.

It shows a relatively low layer of clay content 200 kilometers long from a distance. This is proof that there is a possibility that a lake is in the Ladon basin and Ladon Valles.

Evidence that the planet Mars was once inhabited is also an estimate of the occurrence of major floods. The cause of this great flood due to the impact of heat from meteoric release of ice. This ice is stored on the surface of Mars and forms giant ripples from geological structures or Martian rocks which we call megaripples. (R10/HR-Online)
