The study, published in the journal “Nature Geoscience”, indicated that some Mars terrain Mysteriously interpreted as possibly caused by flow Lava, May be caused by a mud flow.
An international team of researchers reached these conclusions after studying the spread of dirt in what is known as “The Martian ChamberAt the Open University in Britain That mimics the Martian conditions, according to AFP.
And in the Martian chamber, it is the same Atmospheric pressure The atmosphere in Mars is about 150 times lower than it is on Earth, and temperatures are often below zero.
A statement of the National Center for Scientific Research in France said, “Mud under such conditions behaves like lava and forms many folds.”
Susan Conway, a researcher at the center, who is one of the participants in preparing the study, explained the “flows shown in pictures Mars That we study as being caused by lava may also be caused by Muddy“.
She added that these mud flows “belonging to millions, or even billions of years,” needed “large quantities of water” to form on the surface of Mars.
The researchers said that the flow of dirt under Mars conditions differs in terms of behavior from those on the surface of the Earth, and that includes other calculations, such as the speed of freezing due to low temperatures on the red planet, and an ice crust.
Astronomers had previously detected those lava-like structures in pictures taken by NASA satellites, and they believed they originated from ancient volcanic activity on Mars.
