If this is true, then water could break through the sides of craters and flow down the sides, bringing with it salts and minerals to be left behind and imaged by spacecraft. Another fact that leads science to conclude liquid water exists on Mars is the age of the volcanoes on Mars. Many of the volcanoes were active 4 x 108 years ago. This is about ten percent of the age of Mars. Geologically the volcanoes are young, thus heat still exists beneath the crust of Mars. If Mars is hot on the inside and cold on the outside, the temperature in the middle would be suitable for liquid water to exist and move toward the surface. As we have seen briny water remains liquid at temperatures below freezing. The Curiosity Rover has imaged damp regolith on the surface of the Red Planet, this is sitting water mixed with the molecules in the dirt and causing dampness to occur. “Since the 1990’s debunkers have said liquid CO2 or rivers of sand were the cause of the channels on Mars. People are trying to come up with theories and ignoring the most obvious, these channels were created by transient water on the surface of Mars.” (Zubrin)</div></td><td class='diff-marker'> </td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #222; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>In the 1990’s Michael Carr wrote a book called Water on Mars, and in it stated that a water table must exist on Mars and to reach it, one should look about one-half of a kilometer underground.
