地球上存在一些天然的喷泉,比如美国黄石公园有一处喷泉,它能把滚烫的泉水喷射到45米的高空。然而,与火星上的远古喷泉相比,地球上的喷泉就像是小不点儿。英国研究人员推测,火星上曾有巨大的超级喷泉,可把冰雹和泥浆喷射到8000米的高空中,场面十分壮观。超级喷泉的动力来自二氧化碳。火星岩层曾经把大量的二氧化碳压缩在地下水中。这些地下水像汽水饮料一样不是很稳定,一有机会就会喷射出来。当火星地表有裂缝形成时,被压缩的二氧化碳就会大量冒出来,带动水和砂石形成超级喷泉。喷涌而出的泥浆降落到地面上,形成泥流。后来水被蒸发干后,只剩下喷泉产生的沉积物,形成类似流动的山脊岩层。
There are some natural fountains on Earth. For example, there is a fountain in Yellowstone National Park in the United States that can spray the hot spring water to a height of 45 meters. However, fountains on Earth seem to be smaller than the ancient fountains on Mars. British researchers speculate that Mars had a huge super-fountain, hail and mud can be injected into the 8000-meter altitude, the scene is spectacular. Super fountain power from carbon dioxide. Mars rock has compressed large amounts of carbon dioxide into groundwater. The groundwater is not as stable as a soft drinks, it will be ejected when there is a chance. When the Mars surface cracks, the compressed carbon dioxide will be a large number of emerge, driving water and gravel to form a super fountain. Gush out of the mud landed on the ground, forming a mud flow. Later, the water was evaporated to dryness, leaving only sediments from the fountain to form a flow-like ridges.
