"Mars' Surprising Influence on Earth's Climate Revealed by Scientists"
Scientists have discovered a 2.4-million-year cycle of giant whirlpools in Earth's deep-sea, which is linked to gravitational interactions between Mars and Earth, causing the Red Planet to pull Earth closer to the sun every few million years. This interaction affects Earth's climate, leading to increased solar energy and warmer weather. The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Sydney, involved drilling 370 holes in oceans across the globe to analyze sediments, revealing evidence of these cycles. The findings suggest that Mars and Earth have been interacting in a way that impacts our planet for over 40 million years, with potential implications for ocean circulation and climate stability.
