What evidence suggests that liquid water is or once was present on mars?

There is evidence that there was once water on Mars due to large gullies on its surface. This may suggest that running liquid water may have eroded it away and the fact that Mars has 'frozen' ice caps may suggest that it was once liquid water that had frozen over a large period of time.


What evidence suggests that water is or once was present on mars?

1.Found on Mars solid ice, show that also have liquid water there. 2.Calcium carbonate is an important symbol of liquid water . 3.Mars is the presence of water on Mars clouds of "suspected evidence" . 4. perchlorate and groundwater evidence. 5.Microbial, is the best evidence that the presence of water Mars.


What has happened to the water on Mars?

What happened to the water on mars h'm its simple really. A long time ago about 10000 million million years ago mars had water all over its surface in seas and oceans like earth. But one day a giant solar flare burst-ed out of the sun straight at mars. Mars had a ozone to protect but not as strong as earths. The solar flare made the ozone layer evaporate and evaporated all the water mars had ever had except for the polar ice caps. Then mars became a dirt land of nothing. Mars had water but probably never will again.

How often does it flood on mars?

There is no liquid water on the surface of Mars. The atmospheric pressure is so low and the temperatures are so cold that any water on the surface would freeze and boil at the same time.
