POBNEWS24, Dhaka Mar 18, 2021 :Millions of years ago, Mars had lakes and seas. But where did that water go? Why is Mars now dry and rocky? The matter is still a mystery. However, many people think that the water of Mars is lost in space. However, according to a study funded by the US space agency NASA, the water of Mars is not lost anywhere but is stuck in the minerals deep in its surface.
The research article was published in the journal Science. Eva Schiller, lead author of the research article, told AFP: “We are saying that the surface of Mars is made up of watery minerals. The minerals that are there have water in their crystal formation.
According to Scalar’s model, 30 to 99 percent of the water on Mars is trapped in these minerals.
The entire planet Mars is thought to have been submerged. There was a sea 100 to 1500 meters deep. Early in the history of Mars, the planet lost its electric field. As a result, its environment gradually moves away and water is gradually lost from Mars.
However, new research has shown that even though the magnetic field is lost, less water is lost in it. Most of the water remains on the ground.
Researchers are looking for hydrogen in the water by observing NASA rovers sent to Mars and various meteors on the planet. Since then, scientists have set up new models. According to researchers, Mars became dehydrated between 400 million and 360 million years ago. That is, according to Scalar, Mars has been in this state for 300 million years.
Sceller hopes that the Perseverance rover, which recently embarked on a Mars mission, will be able to contribute more to the study. The robot is basically such a process, to investigate whether it happened there. They will match the perseverance data with the model they have created.
