SPACE The surfaces submerged by waves on Mars were huge, 800,000 km² 1,000. 000 km², say US researchers …
Surprising discovery of American researchers. There are 3.4 billion years, the planet Mars was allegedly mega-
tsunamis. “Proof of the existence of a primitive ocean” on the Red Planet, according to a study published Thursday in Nature Scientific Reports .
“We have geological evidence two tsunamis that have occurred there are about 3.4 billion years, “says Alexis Palmero Rodriguez of the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson
in the USA. “Our discovery is proof of the existence of a Martian ocean,” he adds

In those early days, Mars was similar to the Earth with lakes, rivers and perhaps even a vast ocean covering most of the northern plains of Mars. But the shores of an ocean are always distributed along a constant altitude. But in the northern plains of Mars,
sedimentary deposits are distributed at various altitudes which makes some scholars doubted the existence of such bodies of water on the Red Planet

Researchers led by Alexis Palmero Rodriguez provide an explanation for this inconsistency: the vast sedimentary deposits could be the result of successive tsunamis. The researchers then evoke a true cataclysm on the surface of the planet now so austere, so barren: waves up to 120 meters high and deep into the lands, up to hundreds of kilometers
<. p> “the surfaces submerged by the waves were huge, 800 000 km 1 000 000 km² as tsunamis,” said Alexis Palmero Rodriguez. The researchers observed large craters 30 km in diameter (seven times the size of Paris), traces of ancient meteorites that could cause these phenomena outsized.
