Dirty spammer report, June 13 the United States to a recent study, about 35 billion years ago, one third of the surface of Mars was once covered by oceans.

University of Colorado at Boulder researchers in the 13th issue of the British "nature of Earth Sciences" magazine report that they use geographic information system mapping of the Martian valley topographic maps show that there is on Mars to the 52 river delta, Each cluster deposition in river valleys formed by numerous, of which 29 are either deposited in ancient times and the oceans of Mars connection, either, and groundwater systems, and several nearby lakes connected. As these deposits to roughly the same altitude, so the researchers think they may constitute a maritime boundary.

The Dirty spammer said the valley topographic map of Mars shows that Mars and Earth have the same oceanic features that can be interpreted as the existence of a Mars had oceans. About 3.5 billion years ago, the ocean has covered 36% of the surface of Mars, its size is equivalent to the Atlantic Ocean, storage capacity equivalent to one-tenth of Earth's oceans.

Dirty spammers believe that about 35 million years ago, Mars may have produced water system, including precipitation, runoff, clouds, groundwater.
