"These geological features are very similar to Earth's coastal sediments and are the most direct underground evidence to date of the existence of ancient oceans in the middle and low latitudes of Mars," the report says.
The channel notes that the new data not only provides key underground evidence of the existence of an ancient ocean on the northern plains of Mars, but also shows that Mars once experienced a long period of warm and humid climate, which means that "Mars has long maintained conditions of temperature and air pressure suitable for the existence of water." in the liquid state."
