Thank you for reading the news regarding technology: Noise detected on Mars indicates the presence of a sea of magma under the surface of the planet and now with the details of the news
Cairo – Samia Sayed – New research has revealed previously undetected earthquakes under the surface of Mars in the form of noise, which experts believe is evidence that the planet hosts a sea of magma in its mantle, and they believe that the best explanation for “Mars earthquakes” is continuous volcanic activity Under the surface of Mars, they believe the planet is more volcanically and seismically active than initially thought.
Experts have long believed that there was not much going on inside Mars, but researchers at the Australian National University made their discovery following combing through data from NASA’s Insight Mars probe.
“Knowing that the mantle of Mars is still active is critical to our understanding of how Mars evolved as a planet,” said geophysicist Hrvoje Tkalić of the Australian National University in Australia.
The scientist added, that this information can help us answer basic questions regarding the solar system and the state of Mars’ core, mantle, and evolution of the magnetic field that it currently lacks, as Mars has very little magnetic field, which indicates a lack of internal activity.
Planetary magnetic fields are typically generated within a planet by something called a dynamo, which is a rotating, convective, electrically conductive fluid that converts kinetic energy into magnetic energy and spins a magnetic field into space.
Earth’s magnetic field protects us from cosmic radiation that can destroy life, but radiation levels on Mars are much higher even though the planet is far from the sun.
Scientists have discovered 47 new seismic events coming from a region on Mars called Cerberus Fossae, and most of them resemble the waveforms of two of the Cerberus Fossae earthquakes that occurred in May and July 2019, suggesting that smaller earthquakes are related to larger ones.
