During its mission, the Martian probe “Curiosity” was discovered in The rocks of the Gale Crater contain a large amount of sulfate salts. About it with A reference to NASA is reported by CNN.
Scientists believe that for a long time in the Gale Crater there were lakes and streams. Salts found in the crater accumulated as a result of evaporation water. The dried crater lake indicates a long drying time surface of Mars.

NASA scientists associate cyclical data with frequent climate change that is most likely caused by transformation of the axial inclination of the planet or frequent changes orbits.
According to researchers, more than 4.2 billion years ago, climate on Mars it was warm and humid, there were rivers and lakes, and a large part of the northern hemisphere covered the ocean.
Some experts are increasingly confident that in ancient times Mars could survive a huge catastrophe that affected the tilt axis. This led to climate failures and the death of biological life. on the planet.
