Decipher the mysterious wavy grooves on Mars

The surface of the red planet has very strange wavy lines that scientists have successfully decoded.

According to Mirror, on the surface of Mars there are long wavy trails that scientists have spent a lot of time researching. Recently, researchers at Trinity College Dublin and Durham University have decoded them, and affirmed that they are not related to water.

The sand surface has formed grooves similar to those seen on Mars.

According to scientists, on Mars there is 95% CO2 and the time of Mars is divided into seasons. In winter, CO ₂ freezes and exists as a solid beneath the Martian surface; By spring, solid CO ₂ evaporates into gas without being able to survive in liquid form.

To explain the shape of the wavy grooves, the scientists performed the experiment by allowing CO2 to freeze and evaporate at the sand surface in a low humidity environment. As a result, the sand surface has formed grooves similar to those seen on Mars.

With the results of this study, scientists have basically explained how to interact between CO2 and the surface of Mars, and also eliminate the hypothesis related to water in creating the upper grooves. In the future, scientists will continue to explore Mars and seek the existence of life in general, water in particular on this planet.
