Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The researchers behind the new study argue that low-frequency quakes detected on the Red Planet may point towards the presence of magma deep within the bowels of Mars.<\/p>\n

While no traces of life have been found on Mars so far, it seems that the Red Planet may be somewhat \u201clively\u201d in terms of volcanic activity, an international team of researchers suggests.<\/p>\n

Using the data supplied by NASA\u2019s InSight lander regarding a series of low-frequency marsquakes, researchers led by Simon Stahler from the Institute of Geophysics at ETH Zurich postulate that seismic activity detected by the craft primarily originates from a series of fissures on the planet\u2019s surface, known as Cerberus Fossae.<\/p>\n

The team also took note of the distinctly darker shade of the dust deposits in the area in question, with Stahler suggesting it \u201csignifies geological evidence of more recent volcanic activity \u2013 perhaps within the past 50,000 years \u2013 relatively young, in geological terms,\u201d according to a press release by ETH Zurich.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur findings confirm that the Cerberus Fossae represents a unique tectonic setting shaped by current day magmatic processes and locally elevated heat flow,\u201d the researchers write.<\/p>\n

Some tremors on Mars, however, occur due to outside influence rather than because of tectonic activity, as the cause of a magnitude 4 marsquake detected on December 24 last year was eventually traced to a meteoroid impact that left a huge crater on the surface of the Red Planet.<\/p>\n
