Why Mars Became a Lifeless Desert – Scientists Finally Have the Answer

Scientists have discovered the real reason Mars turned into a dry, barren desert, and it’s pretty shocking. A long time ago, the Red Planet had lakes, rivers, and maybe even oceans, but something caused all that water to disappear. It turns out Mars lost its protective magnetic field, which let solar winds strip away its atmosphere over millions of years. Without a thick atmosphere to trap heat and keep water from evaporating, the planet slowly dried up. Now, all that’s left are dusty plains, deep canyons, and frozen ice beneath the surface. But if we ever want to live there, scientists are working on ways to bring some of that lost water back!
