Mars once had salt lakes similar to those on Earth: Study

According to the researchers, including those from Texas A&M University in the US, liquid water on Mars may have become unsustainable and evaporated as the planet's atmosphere became thinner, and the pressure at the surface became lesser.

According to a study published in the journal Nature Geoscience, noted that over 3 billion years ago the lake that was present in Gale Crater — an immense 95-mile-wide rocky basin that is being explored with the NASA Curiosity rover since 2012 — underwent a drying episode possibly linked to the global drying of Mars.

Mars once had salt lakes that went through wet and dry phases similar to those on the Earth, according to a study which indicates that the red planet’s climate ‘dried out’ over a long time.
