Ancient Mars are believed to have had planetary storms that filled lakes and rivers with rainfall on the planet, enough to flood the surface.
Using satellite imagery and topography, the team tested the river basin and river basins of the Martian “paleolagos” to quantify the amount of precipitation that filled the lakebeds and river valleys 3.5 to four billion years ago.
Researchers found that there should have been between thirteen and 520 feet of rain or thaw at a singles event, causing flooding on the red planet.
However, the team notes that it is now calculating the duration of a bachelor episode, stating that it can take days, years or thousands of years.

Using satellite imagery and topography, the team tested the watersheds and watersheds of martian paleoloces to quantify the amount of precipitation that filled the lakebeds and river valleys 5.5 to four billion years ago.
The climate of ancient Mars has been a mystery to astronomers, however, geologists say riverbeds and paleolagos show that there is a significant amount of precipitation.
But quantifying quantity is a challenge, because there is not enough liquid that is provided enough time to study.
