Planet Mars has an incredible image published today that shows us an ice avalanche that takes place there, something that for researchers is a reason for amazement, and this is because such phenomena are rarely observed. Analyzing surprising images on the planet Mars, the researchers came to the conclusion that there are very large ice avalanches, one of them traveling a distance of approximately 15 kilometers at a time, with substantial ground movements.
Planet Mars had these ice avalanches detected near some craters that suggest the fact that various objects in the universe hit the planet's surface at some point. Ice avalanches would have occurred about 1 million years ago on the planet Mars, or at least that is what the researchers who looked carefully at what happened there, leading to the generation of the effects you can see in the images of lower.
Planet Mars: The IMPRESSIVE image, what Ice AVALANCHES do
Planet Mars it has some strange marks around the craters left on the surface, and researchers say it's all related to those huge ice avalanches that happened there. The ice avalanches you see in the image above are different, one of them moving the ice from an area of 2.42 square kilometers, while in the case of the second one we are talking about an ice area of 1.1 square kilometers which was moved.
“Two impact craters in the far latitudes of Mars have strange linear features on their inner slopes. New research published in Planetary and Space Science suggests that these moraine-like ridges are what's left of monumental ice avalanches that occurred about a million years ago. Massifs are formed by the constant accumulation of frost. Eventually, the weight and pressure became so intense that the masses collapsed, unleashing their contents to the bottom of the crater.”
Planet Mars had these huge avalanches due to the fact that a lot of ice accumulated in certain areas, the accumulations becoming unstable and turning into avalanches. One of the respective areas had ice collected at a height of 150 meters, while in the case of the other the height was only 100 meters, but after both fell, what we see in the image above captured on the planet Mars was formed .
Planet Mars it is the source of many mysteries, and researchers are slowly trying to unravel everything they can from them before the first people get there.
