Kenneth Field has updated his beautiful topographical map of Mars. (Is There) Life on Mars straightaway includes the pick to add together lakes, seas together with oceans together with plough the ruby-red planet partly light-green (read the 'details' for an explanation equally to why H2O on Mars wouldn't look blue)).
The map's novel H2O layer allows you lot to add together H2O to the surface of Mars based on the planet's meridian data. You've in all probability seen this sort of responsive H2O layer earlier on sea flat maps of the Earth, such equally Climate Central's Surging Seas map.
Maps similar Surging Seas copy the probable consequences of global alarm on Earth's sea levels. While the temperature on Mars tin dismiss gain equally high equally lxx degrees Fahrenheit (at the equator on a Martian summertime day) in that place is before long petty danger of the due north polar H2O ice cap melting (Mars would postulate a far denser atmosphere together with higher surface temperatures).
However the novel H2O layer on Kenneth's Mars map is an interesting means to visualize meridian information on Mars. You tin dismiss purpose the unlike H2O levels to visualize unlike elevations on the map below Mars' 'sea level'. And who knows, perchance inward a few millennium, nosotros mightiness last using a similar map inward our efforts to terraform Mars.
