Researchers have deciphered secrets of Mars: There are large temperature differences between the northern and southern hemispheres inside the planet, but that's not all.
Hidden Deep Beneath Mars, Scientists Find Evidence of a Vast Magmatic System
Mars may have built a surprisingly complex crust through large magmatic systems without the plate tectonics long thought necessary. Mars has no moving tectonic plates, yet deep beneath its surface may lie evidence of the kind of vast, interconnected magmatic systems once thought to require them. Researchers from the University of Oxford have found signs [...]
Scientists Baffled by Bizarre "Anomaly" Deep Beneath the Surface of Mars
"Scientists usually assume that the interiors of planetary bodies are generally spherically symmetric, but this is not necessarily true." The post Scientists Baffled by Bizarre “Anomaly” Deep Beneath the Surface of Mars appeared first on Futurism.
A team of researchers detected a thermal anomaly of 200 to 400 °C under the highlands of southern Mars. This heat runs along the border between the two hemispheres of the planet.
Scientists Discover a Huge Hidden Hot Zone Deep Inside Mars
Scientists have discovered a surprising temperature difference deep inside Mars, with the planet’s southern interior appearing hundreds of degrees hotter than its northern half. The finding suggests that parts of the southern interior may even be partially molten. Researchers say the discovery could help explain several long-standing mysteries about Mars and provide new clues about […] The post Scientists Discover a Huge Hidden Hot Zone Deep Ins…
The researchers detected a staggering temperature difference in the mantle of the neighbouring planet. The southern hemisphere turns out to be 200 to 400 degrees Celsius warmer than the northern half. This unexpected discovery could finally explain the very divided geography of the terrain and immediately revive the debates about its former habitability.
