Some geological physicists say they are made up of something that prevents the forming process of these stretching sand dunes. However, they still cannot determine what it is.
From the data sent from the spacecraft Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, scientists from the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado (USA) have discovered a lot of evidence that Mars has experienced a time The ice age is harsher than on Earth.

The team recorded a maximum ice thickness of 320 m on the polar regions, matching previous estimates in 2003 and 2007. This proves that the scientific community has actually identified the recent ice age. most of Mars. Using these measurements, experts can calculate the volume of water moving between poles and latitudes, thereby understanding the Martian climate.
Although the ocean's position on Mars has not been determined yet, scientists agree that the red planet once had a lot of water . NASA said that more than 4 billion years ago, Mars was covered by water up to 137 meters deep. Since then, nearly all of these countries have evaporated into space.

Statistics show that the size of these oceans is larger than the Arctic Ocean and it is equivalent to 19% of Mars's surface area. And it is possible to have some life on Mars longer than previously thought.
Based on satellite imagery, scientists predict, the red planet may have experienced two terrifying " super tsunamis" that occur millions of years apart. According to the study, wave heights of up to 120 meters sweep into the interior of a few hundred kilometers. This demonstrates that one third of the planet's surface area was once covered by the ocean.

Scientists at the Wageningen University in the Netherlands have experimented with growing beets, beans, rye and tomatoes on mixed soils on " Red Planet ". After being tested to contain no heavy metals, 4 vegetables grown on "Mars " soil are safe for users' health.

"The results are very desirable. We can absolutely eat this radish, peas, rye, tomatoes as usual, and I am very curious to know their taste. The more vegetables you need to experiment with, the better it is to ensure that Mars can grow a variety of crops, " said ecologist Wieger Wamelink.
In the future, when people put on this planet, they can completely supply themselves with food.
