New evidence shows Mars had an ocean and sandy beaches
Researchers have just found evidence that suggests that Mars has once been home to oceans and sandy beaches on the Red Planet, according to data published by S This is far from the dry, freezing and radiation conditions of modern Mars.
Scientists have found evidence of buried beaches after analyzing the image data underground images from Chinese Rover Jourong. These data from the northern lowlands of Mars are extremely similar to what researchers find when using a similar penetrating radar here on Earth, S They found underground material that is angular and inclined to the lowland, which is probably an ocean at some point.
#Vantageonfirstpost: A new study reveals that once Mars had an ocean with sandy beaches, with evidence of buried coastlines found deep underground. This study referred to the past life on the Red Planet about four billion years ago.

"Usually the radar is gaining even subtle changes to the size of the sludge that probably happens here," Dr. Benjamin Cardans, co-authored the State University in Pen. "This tells you that there should be tides, there should have been waves, there should have been a river nearby, supplying a sludge, and all these things had to be active for some long period of time."
Scientists have long discussed whether Mars had oceans or not, and this discovery certainly suggests that the planet was once the home of huge bodies of water. Previous discoveries indicate that he had before and S There is also evidence of liquid water Nowadays.
"The beach is an interface between shallow water, air and earth. It is these types of environments where life is believed to be on earth for the first time and I think it would be a great place to send a subsequent mission seeking signs of past life," said Cardans.
