"Mars's Surprising Impact on Earth's Oceans Unveiled by Scientists"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Geo News
Scientists have discovered a surprising link between Mars and Earth's oceans, revealing that deep-sea currents have been influenced by 2.4 million-year climate cycles caused by the gravitational resonance between the two planets. This interaction has led to the weakening and strengthening of ocean currents, impacting the shape of their orbits and distance from the sun. While these natural climate cycles affect warming and ocean currents on Earth, they are not linked to the rapid heating caused by human activities. The study provides valuable insights into ocean circulation changes and the potential mitigation of impacts from a collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.
