Scientists May Have Found a Massive Ocean of Water Deep Beneath Mars’ Surface

Recent seismic studies suggest that Mars may harbor a vast reservoir of liquid water deep beneath its surface. This hidden ocean, potentially spanning depths of 10 to 20 kilometers (6 to 12 miles), could contain enough water to envelop the entire planet in a layer approximately 1 to 2 kilometers deep. This discovery not only enhances our understa...

Recent seismic studies suggest that Mars may harbor a vast reservoir of liquid water deep beneath its surface. This hidden ocean, potentially spanning depths of 10 to 20 kilometers (6 to 12 miles), could contain enough water to envelop the entire planet in a layer approximately 1 to 2 kilometers deep. This discovery not only enhances our understanding of Mars' geological history but also informs future exploration strategies, particularly in the search for extraterrestrial life and potential human colonization.
