Astronomers have observed features on the surface of Mars, such as dried-up river beds, ancient lake beds, and mineral deposits that typically form in the presence of water. Additionally, data from various Mars rovers and orbiters have provided evidence of past water-related processes, such as erosion and sedimentary deposition. These combined observations strongly suggest that water once flowed on the surface of Mars.
i is believed that water once flowed across mars surface and now the water is stored in the form of ice!
There is a lot of visible evidence on Mars revealed by the various Mars landers, that water - a lot of water - flowed at one time on the planet.
For one, we know there are polar ice caps on mars that consist of ice. Second, there are gorges that show where water once flowed.
It has long channels that may have been carved by flowing water.
Mars scientists found water on. Mars
mars has liquid water on it
Features such as dried-up river channels, ancient lake beds, and mineral deposits that can only form in the presence of water suggest that water flowed on the surface of Mars in the past. Satellite images and data from rovers like Curiosity also provide evidence of a watery history on Mars.
The astronomers suppose that the water is frozen underground there. Long time ago Mars was warmer and water flows out. That's why the Curiosity car found peeblestones on the surface of Mars.
There is no vegetation on Mars.
Currently, Mars is too cold for liquid water to exist on its surface. Dry river beds suggest that liquid water once flowed there.
Astronomers have not yet made any findings regarding the possibility of life on Mars.
