New York (Web Desk) Scientists say that large-scale magma systems existed inside Mars, which could play an important role in the search for signs of life on the planet.
According to new research, extensive and complex systems of molten rock existed within Mars in the past, which in many ways resemble the magma systems found on Earth.
Experts say that this discovery challenges the traditional assumption that such magma systems can only form on planets where tectonic plates exist and are in motion.
According to scientists, Mars is a planet whose outer surface is not divided into moving plates like Earth, which is why it was previously believed that its surface and internal structure would be relatively simple.
Experts believe that the presence of complex magma systems inside Mars may help in the search for favourable past environments and possibly signs of life on the planet.
