A NASA report reveals, the red planet Mars became a victim of Mega Tsunamis that were about 10 times more catastrophic than the ones we see here on earth. On Earth, tsunamis usually activate due to massive earthquakes, but on Mars, it happened when two large space-guided rocks hit the northern regions of the planet.

The American space agency has found solid evidence of tsunami, thrashing the land and mountains of our red neighbor. As published in the journal, Scientific Reports, 120-meter-tall waves, resulted by the collision of a comet about 3.5 billion years back, flooded around 570,000 square kilometers of Martian area, which undoubtedly is greater than many Indian and American states, and nations like United Kingdom, France, etc.

The second instance, which took place some million years after, another huge asteroid smashed into a frozen ocean, and the results were even more drastic. Rather than flooding the planet again, the comet drained away the already water-logged Martian plains.

The scientists also gave a series of evidence and theories to prove their point. There are outsized craters and channels shaped by the disappearing water on Mars. However, there are many other theorists who do not agree to the ‘tsunami caused by space rocks’ philosophy.
