Mars Is Still Active! Gravity Study Gives Insights into Hidden Features Beneath Lost Ocean of Mars

Discover the latest findings beneath the surface of Mars! Scientists have uncovered dense, hidden structures buried under an ancient ocean and revealed that the solar system’s largest volcano, Olympus Mons, is still rising due to active processes deep within Mars. Learn how these groundbreaking discoveries are reshaping our understanding of the Red Planet and what they mean for future exploration, including the exciting MaQuIs mission that aims to map Mars' hidden features in unprecedented detail.

Some sections of the 'skirt' around Olympus Mons are taller than Mount Everest!

It would be quite the event if Olympus Mons erupted. If it does, hopefully it'll be before we manage to send ppl to Mars.

Even back in the 80's, we knew that Mars was still geologically active as there was evidence of volcanism within the past two million years which in geologic terms would be recently. It is only the average person who would run around claiming that Mars had completely cooled solid. We've always known that the mantle was still molten, it was just that there was no tectonic plates, the crust was much thicker than Earth's and the core just wasn't rotating as much likely due to greater viscosity in the molten outer core. We also knew our Moon was still geologically active and had seismometer readings from the Apollo landings showing that the mantle was still molten as P waves would pass through but S waves would not. Again, it was only a popular misconception that the Moon had completely solidified.

Olympus Mons is a shield volcano somewhat similar to those of Hawai'i. Except the mantle plume that drives the creation of the Hawai'ian islands is pushing against a tectonic crust that is constantly moving over it, resulting in a chain of volcanoes across the ocean.

The crust of Mars is not divided into moving tectonic plates like that of Earth, so the mantle plume that creates Olympus Mons and the other large volcanoes of the Tharsis region remains under a single area forever.

This results in a mountain the size of Thailand that dwarfs anything that has ever existed on Earth, built by a billion years of activity in one place on a planet with much weaker gravity and a much thinner atmosphere, which significantly delay the effects of erosion which, on Earth, quickly grind mountains down.

It has been recently discovered that Olympus Mons may have erupted as recently as 15 million years ago, pointing to an underlying Martian geology which may be more alive that has been hitherto suspected. The forces resulting in the formation of the Tharsis Rise are still at work, and the mountains may well erupt again someday.

If the core of Mars is still active, then why is there no magnetic field? Please explain.

[JediMaster]

There’s still a chance that we can find some Martians!

[DavidHunt-sv]

I would love to got to Mars but unfortunately it won't be in my lifetime 😒

[Stroopwaffe]

I heard that the Moon, the large low velocity shear provinces and Venus were all involved in the Proto- Earth versus Thea collision.

[ManuelGarcia-wwgj]

I am wondering what is there on Mars to make it a planned destination in the futuer. Would it not be a better plan to change our goal to one of the Jovian moons or even Titan? Let us set our sights on something truly valuable and much simpler to land on.

[lonelycubicle]

If Olympus Mons went super volcano eruptions, could it cause run away global warming?

[Genya]

If Olympus erupts this could bring the possibility of making Mars a habital Planet.
Well If the Eruption is strong enough.

[Indygo]

The surface of Mars is destroyed but underneath?

[nickstreeservice]

I've read the core is out and it has no magnetic field anymore. Something very turbulent stripped mars surface and plate tectonics came into play .

[raulcapetillo]

All this is already known, that how planets are made of, basic ingredients 😅

[hectora]

I’ve come to the conclusion that Olympus Mons destroyed the planet a long time ago. Whatever beings lived on it died or left somewhere. Maybe to earth and other places.

[indridcold]

Mars is still geologically active. However, its fractured magnetosphere will assure humans will never live there.

[chazzw]

Well mars sky is blue. Of course is alive just like earth!

[MTkONE]

Ahhh so "Rover" has really been Code Name 4 a SubTerrier-Ian Dog 🐕 on Mars & ic it has a pup to play & teach Catch with... Grateful That It Has CompanIonShip NOW😅 🙏🙌😇🌟

[morganmedrano]

Anyone have their intrusive thoughts making them want to pop it lole a pimple the see what happens? Lol.
