You must have heard about the volcanic eruptions that occur daily, but do you know that volcanoes also occur on other planets apart from Earth? Scientists are discovering new things about this. Efforts are being made to determine whether volcanic activities arise on other planets.
In this regard, scientists have learned about recent volcanic activity on Earth’s neighbouring planet Mars. It has been detected using ground penetrating radar and satellite imagery.
In this, scientists saw signs of volcanic activity on Mars. Scientists have expressed hope that this volcanic activity may have occurred recently. Great attention was paid to the details of the lava surfaces to resolve different volcanic eruption events.
Identification Of Volcanic Activities
According to a report by WION, the authors wrote in their paper, “Elysium Planitia is the youngest volcanic area on the planet and studying it will help us better understand Mars’ past as well as recent hydrological and volcanic history.” Some of the volcanic activity that has been identified dates back only 1 million years. It’s very early; geologically, scientists still haven’t seen any volcanic activity.
Scientists Were Surprised To See This
However, recent studies show it may be present somewhere on Mars. According to scientists, volcanic activity has occurred recently, but they need to find out where it happened. Scientists were surprised to see some lava flowing on Mars’s surface, which appeared to be very early.
