Scientists continue to explore the Red Planet. Recently, experts have found on Mars supervolcanoes - is the most powerful volcanoes, the eruption of which may be so strong that it is capable of changing climate on the planet. Their craters formed previously thought as a result of the fall of the asteroid, but it is now clear that in fact the circular depressions - volcanic caldera.
The Martian volcanoes can be easily found on its surface. Almost all of them - a relatively young formations, and we have always wondered where the missing ancient volcanoes - said Joseph Michalski of the National History Museum of London.
Scientists have found traces of supervolcanoes, when we studied the relief plateaus and hills in the eastern hemisphere of Mars. The results of their labors experts published in the journal Nature.
Recall the recent Mars rover Curiosity suddenly found a lot of water in the soil of the Red Planet. According to scientists, to be filled with water two half-liter bottles, enough to warm up to several hundred degrees in just about 30 liters of Martian soil.
