The mantle of the earth is dynamic, transformation and recycling – albeit that is very Slowly, on the vast geological ranges – thanks to the presence of active plate tanks. On the other hand, the Mars cloak is relatively stagnant. Closed inside one layer of dandruff, it provides a “time capsule” with evidence of its primitive past.
Scientists write in the magazine sciences The cap was uploaded to the Mars crust to detect the inner interior designs and evidence of its chaotic history. Mars cloak is less smooth, even layers and the most unparalleled groups randomly scattered throughout its essence, such as Rocky Road. These groups are the result of collision of violence with meteorites for billions of years.
“What we see is the distribution of” a Syrian “, which occurs when the energy is dominated by a catastrophic collision on the strength of an object. He said in a statement. “You see the same effect when the glass falls on a tiled floor, as is the case when the meteor collides with a planet: it is divided into a few large fragments and a large number of smaller pieces.”
A rock past for Mars
Mars, Earth and other rocky planets have been shipped about 4.5 billion years of rotation around the sun. In the first dozens of years of the history of the solar system, these rocky planets faced a series of severe incidents with vast bodies the size of the planet-events that released a lot of energy, melted parts of the planets, creating large oceans of magma.
“While the magma’s oceans cool down and crystallize, they left behind distinct blocks of materials – and we believe that we are now discovering deeply inside Mars,” explained by Konstantinos Charlabus of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the Imperial College in London in the statement. “The fact that we can still discover its effects after four and a half billion of a year showing the extent of slow Mars since then.”

Time capsule in the scarf
The scarf is the layer between the cortex and pulp. While the Earth is dynamic and change, Mars is not – which means that it is likely to provide an insight into the early history of the planet.
Using the data collected by NASA’s insight mission, researchers analyzed the seismic signatures of eight Mars that move across the scarf. They found that the highest -frequency seismic waves were slower to access sensors from the impact site, indicating some degree of overlap.
“The remains of Mars are the first days of Mars.” It is believed that these “structures” – about 2.5 miles (4 km) – consist of an early shell and cloak, as well as debris of meteorites and other collision bodies.
“What happened on Mars is that after those early events, the surface is strengthened to a stagnant cover,” Charlabus said in the statement. “I closed the scarf below, and lock these ancient messy features – such as the planet’s time capsule.”
Mercury, flower and beyond
The effects of this research extend beyond the Red Planet and may even advance a type plan for the development of other terrestrial planets, such as Venus and Mercury. The authors of the study wrote that the geological records of the Earth are “far -fetched”, while preserving the ancient Mars cloak provides an “unprecedented window in geological history” of other rocky planets with an inactive shell.
They added: “This development carries major effects on understanding the pre -conditions of the ability to censure for rock objects through our solar system and beyond.”
