It turned out that Mars wasn't as silent as first believed. Instead, there is intense seismic activity on the red planet, which is rumbling and groaning.
The planet is experiencing dynamic shocks deep below its
surface, and right now, molten lava may be pouring just below the Martian
crust. If it is true, it will alter our knowledge of Martian geodynamics that
we have amassed over the years and imply that volcanic activity on the red
planet is not only feasible but is continuing, and that it is happening more
often than anticipated.
What does this rumbling, nevertheless, mean? How will it
alter how we see Martian geology? Lastly, and most significantly, how will this
revolutionary finding affect our efforts to find both past and contemporary
Martian life?
