Mars already has quite a few mysteries on its surface, but the interior is giving us even more surprises. There is a new map that details the gravitational anomalies on Mars. The image above is the North Pole and what is drawn are areas of more dense areas that scientists cannot explain, specifically they are 20 spots denser than the rest of the material.
We do not know what it is, we do not know what has caused these spots, scientists do not have a clear idea of how these zones could be created, keep in mind that it is first under the surface and that they are zones, they are blocks with a density much greater than the material that surrounds it, this has been concluded thanks to NASA's Inside Probe, which was basically a seismometer and could record the waves of Martian earthquakes, there are earthquakes, luckily they are not very serious but there are earthquakes on Mars and with them, with those waves, they have been able to analyze a little what is under the red planet, they have also used the data from the satellites that are orbiting Mars.
These spots are found in the northern hemisphere, if you see this northern hemisphere in blue it is because it is a low area, low terrain, on the edges reddish areas are high mountain terrain, this low area 3000 million years ago was an ocean, It was sea; These high-density spots may be related to that ancient ocean that ended up disappearing, we don't know right now, they may be of volcanic origin, it would be strange, it is not known exactly, it is a real mystery, it has also been thought that they could be asteroid impacts , material that was hit and when hit compacts the material underneath it presses it and that is why it is denser material, but this theory does not fit because on the surface there is no trace of impact in these regions.
In the upper left corner is Mount Olympus. If we put it in the center of the Iberian Peninsula, it would occupy almost all of Spain and the other three points in line are the great volcanoes of Tharsis. Mount Olympus is about 22 km high. Other references say 24 km, but what has been discovered is that under this area there is an enormous column of magma, and the dimensions are enormous, rather than a column it has the dimensions of a small sea because it would be 1600 km long. diameter, a sea of magma.
This bag would also affect Mount Olympus and the other three large volcanoes, giant volcanoes, we are talking about Mount Ascraeus 18 km high, Mount Arsia 16 km high and Mount Pavonis 14 km high, all of these volcanoes have been inactive for millions of years but if this bag rises, goes to the surface, this could radically change, they could erupt and if they erupt, they would also change the atmosphere of the planet beforehand due to the gigantic amount of gases that would come out of these volcanoes.
At this time, according to the research, we do not know if the stock market is static, if it is rising, keep in mind that here on Earth the magma columns end up rising to the surface and thus creating volcanic structures and islands, the Hawaii Islands are a hot spot, It is a column of magma that comes to the surface and that column is fixed with respect to the movement of the ocean plate, the Pacific oceanic plate moves and as it moves, islands are created.
But the difference with Mars is that the Plates do not move, which is the movement of tectonic plates. If it ever existed, it was frozen a long time ago, which is why these volcanoes have grown so much because the point of origin of the magma has always been in the same place, if this immense pocket of 1600 km in diameter ends up rising to the surface, these four volcanoes and some smaller ones around could erupt and it would be something tremendous.
