Leave this Tour and take the Exploratour of the Water of Mars
Water Features on Mars
Although there is no water on the surface of Mars today, there is evidence that there was once running water on Mars. Scientists study the evidence like like lawyers study evidence in a law case, to see if the clues make sense. The evidence is in the form of:
- large, tear-dropped shaped outflow channels
- river valley networks unlike terrestrial river valleys
- catastrophic floods, with associated shorelines, & canyon sediments
