Mars responsible for giant whirlpools in Earth's oceans? Know it all here
earth's deep ocean, researchers took to studying sediments and residue from the deep-sea. These sediments were almost half a century old and research has revealed that they could reveal the impact of Mars on the Earth’s oceanic currents in the deep sea, as per a CNN report.
Based on the study, these sediments accumulated across almost 2 million year climate cycles which could be pivotal in assessing some massive revelations around the Earth’s climatic changes.
How is Mars affecting Earth's deep sea?
Being 140 million miles away from something doesn't stop you from affecting it, according to some latest researches. Mars is that far away from the Earth yet does not shy away from impacting the Earth in a manner that giant whirlpools may occur in the deep sea due to oceanic currents, which are a resultant of Mars and Earth’s interaction during orbiting in the solar system, says the report.

It seems that Mars and Earth and affecting each other through a phenomenon signified as ‘resonance’, a concept wherein two bodies affect each other based on their gravitational push or pull on each other. This phenomenon is essential in keeping a balance in the solar system and ensuring the steady orbiting of the planets as every planet’s orbiting affects it’s nearby one due to this resonance.
Study reveals that this impact across centuries may cause giant whirlpools in the deep oceans and has the ability to erode the sea floor beneath.
