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 ...
The blue region of low topography in the Martian northern hemisphere is hypothesized to be the site of a primordial ocean of liquid water. [183] The Mars ocean hypothesis proposes that the Vastitas Borealis basin was the site of an ocean of liquid water at least once, [23] and presents evidence that nearly a third of the surface of Mars was ...
The Mars ocean theory suggests that nearly a third of the surface of Mars was once covered by water, though the water on Mars is no longer oceanic. Much of it now resides in the ice caps, in a solid state. A cross-section of Mars underground ice is exposed at the steep slope that appears bright blue in this enhanced-color view from the MRO. [11]
Mars may be around 140 million miles away from Earth, but the red planet is influencing our oceans, according to new research. Mars could be driving ‘giant whirlpools’ in the Earth’s deep ...
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter took an image of InSight sitting on the Martian surface on February 2, 2019. The lander was located in a flat plain called Elysium Planitia.
Mars may be drenched beneath its surface, with enough water hiding in the cracks of underground rocks to form a global ocean, new research suggests. The findings released Monday are based on ...

This water — believed to be seven miles to 12 miles (11.5 kilometers to 20 kilometers) down in the Martian crust — most likely would have seeped from the surface billions of years ago when Mars harbored rivers, lakes and possibly oceans, according to the lead scientist, Vashan Wright of the University of California San Diego’s Scripps ...
