Lots of news from below and above the surface of Mars this week as researchers investigate a potentially active mantle and an ancient tsunami.

We don’t need to spend money to live on mars, when we can just put time into fixing this one
We now know what killed the Martian dinosaurs!
I really hope that we can, at some point in the future, send a whole network of probes with seismometers so we can pinpoint where marsquakes are happening, not just know that they’re happening
After a long hard day at work, I like to soothe my brow with a steaming hot cup of Linode.
Life likely exists on Mars underground with geothermal energy as the main source of energy instead of photosynthesis so it likely resembles deep underground ocean-like life if it exists at all.
Wouldnt it be easier to just call them "groundquakes" instead of a name for every planet they happen?
I am glad he said, "tidal wave" at least once.
Cease your investigations
I hadn’t even considered the fact that earthquakes can’t be called earthquakes on Mars. Although, is it correct? The word “earth” (lower case e) refers to the ground and soil etc., not the “Earth” (capital E).
smooth move man…showing impossible to pronounce name of crater on earth on screen, without ever saying it…
Na earth. Mars is fine. They'er not dead
They're just high
So he just chilling
Turns out Martians do exist, they just all moved to their sweet lava lamp core to hang out. Personally, the Martians consider Humanity lame for wanting to live on the non-lava lamp having surface of Mars like a bunch of squares.
If Mars used to have water, does that mean that Mars also had an atmosphere?
Mars isn’t dead, it’s only mostly dead.
ITS BEEN MOSTLY DEAD ALL DAY!
Imagine if had a cataclysmic level eruption out of the blue. That would incredible
Mar's been holding in this burp for a long time
what if we're trying to look for life on mars but it actually died and it's not possible to sustain life on mars anymore because whatever was on mars before used up all its resources and that's the fate earth is headed towards
Engagement
They're gonna release the Tarrasque 🤦
John is heartbroken
Cerberus (Ser-ber-us)
"Um akshully technically that would be a magma lamp"
Imagine if someone clapped after the bot sang itself happy birthday.
👌🏼
👌🏼
So the asteroid hits with such a force that Martian microbes get ejected off of Mars and make it to Earth thus Jumpstarting life here. I'm sure someone is already working on this. It would be awesome if it was true.
Go Go Sci Show!
<Engagement boosting comment>
Imagine if the plume just burst out one day
So are we just ignoring/neglecting Scishow Space? This should have not been on the main channel. This is atleast the 3rd time since September that you guys have done this. It's a real shame.
The conclusions about Mars that are often drawn that we all just accept based on like, one study, never get the same level of scrutiny as research here on earth, say in biology or something.
lol imagine if scientists find demons on mars like in doom
Plot twist, it's underground nuclear testing.
The last decades the amount of water that was there on Mars has grown from "complete dry" to "there's water now", and now we have a literal tsunami.
Perhaps settlers on Mars could use geothermal?
A wet Mars sounds like a cosmically ancient stage in our solar system. But it had water as recent as 3 million years ago? We start seeing humans first appear on the carbon dating timeline around 2 million years ago. That is just a single million years apart between a wet Mars and humans existence. The majority of the history of life on Earth overlaps with a wet Mars longer than it does without.
