The ice found Mars water

Scientific managed to show that the icecap of Mars may be liquid water. It is reported by New Scientist, scientists published a paper in the journal Icarus.

As part of research scientists interested in a "greenhouse effect". Sunlight penetrating through the surface ice, heats the particles present in her soil. These particles, in turn, dissolves itself around the water. Similarly, the share of industrial soot heated transparent upper Earth's atmosphere.

The existence of this effect was provided in another 80 years of the last century based on the study of Antarctic ice. Then, however, calculations performed for porous snow, and scientists have found that due to low atmospheric pressure on the Red planet's water is obtained immediately vyparovuvatymetsya.

Providing that the evaporation of water is protected with a layer of ice, scientists came to the withdrawal of that water in liquid form may be at depths of several self ntimetrov to 10 meters. While scientists do not know whether such a permanent lake ice, or they appear only with the onset of the light time of day.

More recently, scientists were able to establish that water can exist on the surface of Mars in liquid form. It is about that high salinity can protect moisture from freezing, which formed as a result of mud reservoir.
