英国和加拿大的一支研究小组16日宣布,他们在加拿大地下2000多米处发现距今有30亿年的远古地下水。研究人员指出这可能是地球上最为古老的水,甚至有可能存在生命,因为水中发现大量允许生物在没有阳光情况下生存的化学物质。更令人感到兴奋的是,这些水所在的岩层与火星上发现的岩层类似,点燃了科学家的希望,认为有可能在火星地下深处发现类似的能够支持生命存在的水。曼彻斯特大学、兰开斯特大学、多伦多大
A research group in Britain and Canada announced on the 16th that they found about 3 billion years of ancient groundwater in Canada more than 2,000 meters underground. Researchers have pointed out that this may be the oldest water on Earth and may even have life because a large amount of chemicals are found in the water that allow living organisms to live without sunlight. Even more exciting is that the water is located in a rock formation similar to the one found on Mars, igniting the hopes of scientists that it is possible to find similar underwater depths of life to support the existence of water.
