The information universe Part 13

Music video dealing with what seems to be going on behind the scenes in Quantum mechanics and physics in general. It is part of a series.

What would happen if we put water on Mars?

 It depends on how much water, and whether or not it was in a container.

A few gallons or even thousands of gallons of water in a sealed container would eventually freeze she provided it with heat. If you exposed it to the Martian atmosphere, any water would sublimate and probably come down as snow.

Now if you were talking about a lot more water such as enough to convert the Northern Lowlands into a sea then it would still evaporate over time and rain down as snow. However, adding enough of it would raise the atmospheric pressure to the point where there could be liquid water. In fact, the Hellas Impact Basin is actually deep enough that the atmospheric pressure is high enough for liquid water but it would probably still freeze.

Actually, the main problem with Mars when it comes to water is not necessarily not having enough of it, but the fact that it is too cold for it to be liquid on the Martian surface, along with too low of an air pressure to maintain liquid water.
