Climate cycles led to water carved features on Mars’ surface

Dramatic climate cycles on early Mars, triggered by buildup of greenhouse gases, may be the key to understanding how liquid water left its mark on the planet’s surface, a study says. Using climate models, the researchers showed warming periods — caused when greenhouse gases reached a certain tipping point — lasted millions of years on …
