Revealing the reason why Mars kept water in the lake

An unexpected discovery related to Mars was announced by scientists.

According to the latest issue of the latest issue of Nature Geoscience, NASA scientists have published information, thanks to methane explosions that a liquid amount of Mars on water is still maintained before evaporating. , dry and cold like today.

About 4.6 billion years ago, also known as the Noachian era , Mars could be a humid planet, with lots of liquid water, even an ocean of vastness. In the lake, the seabed contains a lot of methane gas.

Entering the Hesperian period, ie the period of 600 million years later, Mars suddenly became colder, this extreme weather impacted rivers and lakes, causing many water to freeze then evaporation.

It is this pressure that causes methane in the lake to explode, creating massive gas explosions, releasing CO ₂ , which CO ₂ is a greenhouse gas, causing the environment temperature to be hotter.

Therefore, thanks to warm temperatures many ice sheets on Mars dissolve into liquid water, remain in the lake for a certain period of time before evaporation and permanent freezing until now.
