Uncover the secrets of Mars

Some similarities between Earth and Mars make many people think that two planets have the same magnetic field but in fact they are not.

There are many similarities but the earth's magnetic field and Mars are completely different.

Professor Sabine Stanley, director of the study, said that Mars's magnetic field creation is not the same as Earth, because the magnetic fields in Mars' hemispheres are not the same. 'In fact, the magnetic field on Mars is very strong in the Southern hemisphere,' Stanley said.

Explaining the asymmetry of magnetic field on Mars, scientists believe that, due to a large tremor, large amounts of liquid lava layers in Mars moved from North to South. ; or the shell of this planet has suffered a considerable movement, making the northern hemisphere's shell slimmer than the Southern hemisphere.

These two hypotheses can explain the temperature difference at the boundary between the two hemispheres of the planet. To reinforce the conclusion, scientists have built computer software that simulates the process of forming Mars. Unexpectedly, the software has brought a clear perspective on some of the issues related to the atmosphere of the red planet, helping them explain the "disappearance" of the northern hemisphere atmosphere, which once made headaches. Researchers.

'It is encouraging that the solution to a problem can also be the answer of many other problems' , Stanley rejoiced. The study of Stanley's group was published in the international scientific journal Science.
