Scientists discover Everest-sized volcanic eruption

Scientists have reported the finding of a volcano on Mars which is higher even than Mount Everest, the highest peak on Earth, according to CNN.

Despite its massiveness, this Martian volcano was easily overlooked by scientists for decades. Mars has more than once excited the minds of scientists, who have reevaluated previous theories, and have had their questions answered about the planet in terms of volcanic past and geological processes.

This unearthing of this giant volcano constitutes not only an enhancement of our knowledge about the geology on planets but also gives an idea of the development of the history of Mars.

Through going beyond the mere enlargement of our Martian topography catalogue, this finding opens up new horizons towards learning more about the mechanisms that shape the Martian surface covering and their potential effects on early habitability.

As such, the erection of a sizable volcanic structure causes us to view the Martian story differently, making us wonder about the planet’s tectonic formation.

This towering landmark becomes one of the most prominent features on the map, and it ignites the curiosity of scientists and space explorers. It offers the promise of future discoveries among the rough terrain of Mars.
