Recently, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory website released a message that Mars exploration scientists believe that the original water on Mars may be hidden under the earth's crust. At present, the project funded by NASA is gradually revealing that the huge amount of water on the Red Planet has not escaped into space.
After a long period of exploration, we once thought that the water that once existed on Mars had long since evaporated into space. Speaking as the most authoritative scientist at the Fifty-second Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, Eva Scheller said that losing water from the atmosphere does not fully explain the data we now have about how much water actually exists on Mars. Judging from the number of Mars missions acquired in the past, a small part of the water loss on Mars is lost through the atmosphere and most of the water is collected by minerals in the earth's crust. So is the water on the surface of Mars really lost in these two ways? Where did his water go?
Recently, an article in the Argentine media called "Why the water of Mars is hidden underground" said: Mars was once a planet with a humid environment, and its surface once had abundant water resources. We can explain it to mean that there was a lot of water on the surface of Mars a long time ago, but for some reason about 30 to 99 percent of the water is stored in minerals under the Earth's crust after some chemical reaction.
This conclusion clearly contradicts the original view that Martian moisture escaped into space. Previously, NASA has pointed out that Mars was also a planet with abundant water, and there is an ocean on the surface of its planet, and the depth can reach 100 meters to 1500 meters, and the amount of water can reach one-half of the Atlantic Ocean. Later, perhaps due to changes in the Martian magnetic field, solar radiation and solar wind took away most of the air and water on Mars.
Eva Scheller, a Doctor at the California Institute of Technology, published a study in ScienceWeek in the United States: Studies have shown that most of its water was stored in the earth's crust three billion years ago due to changes in the magnetic field of Mars, and about 30% to 99% of the original water resources on Mars were stored in minerals under the earth's crust after some chemical reaction. The other part is carried into space by solar radiation and solar wind. If this is the case, the abundant water resources in the crust of Mars can be harnessed one day when humans set foot on the Red Planet?
