The water was an abundant element in the first geological period on Mars, made between 4600 and 3,800 million years ago, when fu and determining mineral formation in both surface and subsurface of Mars. After analyzing the latest data from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, researchers from Brown University (USA) today published its findings in the British science journal Nature.
Vast Martian regions were rich in water during the Noachian period, a time when there were dominant hydrological processes across the Martian crust to 5 kilometers deep.
minerals that were in contact with water are those that have allowed scientists to understand that Mars was not a "boiling cauldron" but a "good" that might harbor life organism.
These minerals are phyllosilicates, a kind of clay found in the remains of the Noachian period of the mountainous southern regions of the planet and who have preserved the trace of the interaction with water.
in the Jezero crater have been discovered two deltas and scientists say that there was a large lake and a water flow of 15,000 square kilometers. Due to the abundance water and sediment transport, the researchers suggest that martian life exists, the deltas were the ideal place for development.
