Scientists discovered signs of an ocean's worth of liquid water miles below Mars' surface. The findings, based on Marsquake measurements by NASA's InSight lander, could help solve a mystery.
The former streams become visible since they are resistant to erosion. Mars Global Surveyor found several examples of this process. [26] Many inverted streams have been discovered in various regions of mars, especially in the Medusae Fossae Formation, [27] Miyamoto Crater, [28] and the Juventae Plateau. [29] [30] The image below shows one example.
An artist's impression of ancient Mars and its oceans based on geological data The blue region of low topography in the Martian northern hemisphere is hypothesized to be the site of a primordial ocean of liquid water. [1] The Mars ocean theory states that nearly a third of the surface of Mars was covered by an ocean of liquid water early in the ...
Research, reported in the journal Science in September 2009, [91] demonstrated that some new craters on Mars show exposed, pure, water ice. After a time, the ice disappears, evaporating into the atmosphere. The ice is only a few feet deep. The ice was confirmed with the Compact Imaging Spectrometer (CRISM) on board the Mars Reconnaissance ...

The hadal zone (named after Hades, the Greek god of the underworld) is a zone designated for the deepest trenches in the world, reaching depths of below 6,000 metres (20,000 ft). The deepest point in the hadal zone is the Marianas Trench , which descends to 10,911 metres (35,797 ft) and has a pressure of 110 megapascals (1,100 atm; 16,000 psi).
