This scientific claim could be considered as one of the major breakthroughs in recent space discoveries. Space scientists have proclaimed that Mars was not a dry planet at all, infact it had a vast expanses of water bodies and oceans that kept its atmosphere humid.

What are the space researchers saying?

Researchers, depending upon their latest theories, propounded the fact that approximately one-third of this fascinating planet was once covered with oceans. Carefully scrutinizing the long shore-like lips of rocky terrains, the space researchers cited that this might not be the best evidence to claim the possibility of water bodies on Mars. They analyzed those rocks to be hilly. However, this scientific notion has taken a giant leap for the mankind by revealing something extraordinary.

The shorelines found on Mars were once flat and those, according to the latest probes, were displaced due to the planet’s enormous collapsing some 2 billion years ago. The rocks found on the planet’s topography show real evidences of water containment.

Space scientists have discovered two main coastlines on Martian terrain that extend some thousands of miles across the planet. Co-author, Taylor Perron of UC Berkeley, added that they are the reminiscence of Arabia Ocean, and the younger Deuteronilus Ocean.

How Mars might have looked some 2 billion years ago?

Scientists claim that Mars tumbled over 50 degrees towards geometric north, amidst this the planet misplaced its considerable water resources. In the wake of this phenomenon, Mars’ Deuteronilus Ocean coastline got uncovered. Taylor Perron opines that:

The volume of water was too large to simply evaporate into space, so we think there are still some subterranean reservoirs on Mars.

Nevertheless, the remaining water bodies got concentrated towards the lowland plain situated at 40 degrees to the geometric north of the planet. When a massive body, like a planet, whirls around its axis, the bulkiest things try to locate themselves towards the equator of the same. This phenomenon actually relates to the laws of inertia and heavy forces like centripetal and centrifugal. The volcanic Tharsis region around Mars’ equator bulges out accounting for this phenomenon.

According to the space researchers, this bulge along the equator comes out due to the massive centripetal forces acting at that point. Similar to a deflating balloon the rocks outside the equatorial line behave elastically and thus withstand those forces to their elastic limits. The team of researchers proclaim that the Mars’ oceans were once concentrated near the equator that were actually surrounded by huge elevations of rocky terrains.

Their probes and experimental calculations postulate that in order to study the ocean coastlines and ridges the scientists have to calculate the exact deformation coefficient and constants of the same.

The discovery needs further research:

This astounding discovery has raised a lot of questions before the planetary scientists. It might be possible that those large oceans are still there hidden under the dry, dusty surface of the Mars. Moreover, we can’t overrule the chances of some alien life, which might be still existing there. We can simply relate this discovery to the chances of Mars being inhabited billions of years ago. All these possibilities certainly demand further investigation, which might unravel some more mysterious facts about the red planet.
