About a third of the planet mars is the ocean when it is estimated 3.5 billion years ago. This was disclosed by researchers from the University of Colorado, USA.
The researchers analyzed the amount of data that showed evidence of an ocean. They analyzed water features including the value of the delta deposits and thousands of lines of the river valley to test the ocean in the early formation of Mars.
Xinhua on Tuesday (06/15/2010), the researchers analyzed using geographic information system (GIS) to map the geographical conditions on Mars. conclusion showed that approximately 36 percent of the planet's territory is the territorial waters with the amount of approximately 30 million cubic miles, or approximately 124 million cubic kilometers of water.
Total discharge of water in ancient times mars formed to a height of approximately 1800 feet or 550 meters. However, the ancient seas on Mars is far from the number of territorial waters on earth. Naturally since mars is smaller than Earth's.
The findings, published in the journal Nature Geoscience is the Sea is also found that approximately 52 mars has a river delta, each of which consists of several valleys.
"When the sea on Earth began to form, delta and lakes in the earth serves as a protective habitat for marine, possibly later on we will study the possibility of life on the planet," said one researcher Dr. Gaetano Di-Achille.
