Cerberus Fosse Region found on Planet Mars is Seismically Active
Generally a common man believes that there is no planet other than the earth where there is any movement. Natural activities take place on the earth itself, the rest of the planets are barren.
Earthquakes also occur on Mars
According to the report, it is still true that life cannot exist in planets in space, but natural processes do happen in them. A proof of this has come out from Mars. The Red Planet has no known life so far but has seismic activity. Earthquakes on Mars are called ‘Mars earthquakes’.
Secrets revealed from the pictures taken by the NASA mission
Indian scientists have now observed unique geological movements on the surface of Mars that testify to examples of earthquakes. Scientists at the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) in Ahmedabad have seen signs of boulders bouncing on the surface of Mars. Scientists studied images of the surface of Mars taken by NASA missions in 2006 and 2020. A strange pattern was seen in the soil of the Red Planet.
Distinctive V-shaped pattern formed by falling stones
When a boulder falls on Mars, it forms a distinctive V-shaped pattern at the site of impact and a bouncing boulder means that a series of these ‘V’s are sketched on the surface at points where the bouncing boulder makes contact. The widest part of the V-shape points in the direction of the slope.
Movement of boulders linked to seismic activity on Mars
PRL scientists have observed more than 4500 such tracks made by bouncing boulders. The movement of these boulders has been linked to the seismic activity of Mars. Such associations are strengthened by the fact that these V-shaped tracks have been observed in greater numbers in the Cerberus Fosse region on Mars. This region is particularly seismically active.
