Mars study suggests ocean's amount of water could be miles beneath red planet’s surface
Fox News
A new study suggests there could be water miles under the dusty surface of Mars, with enough water to fill a global-sized ocean a mile deep.
The water is believed to be hiding in the cracks of rocks underground and could be seven to 12 miles beneath the Martian crust. Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
The water may have seeped from the surface billions of years ago, when the red planet had rivers, lakes and possibly oceans, lead scientist Vashan Wright of the University of California San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography told The Associated Press.
