1 00:00:12,150 --> 00:00:10,150 [Music] 2 00:00:14,390 --> 00:00:12,160 billions of years ago mars was able to 3 00:00:16,390 --> 00:00:14,400 have highly explosive volcanism and it's 4 00:00:18,470 --> 00:00:16,400 not just a one-off but we had many 5 00:00:20,950 --> 00:00:18,480 episodes of highly explosive volcanism 6 00:00:22,950 --> 00:00:20,960 in a sort of short geologic window two 7 00:00:25,109 --> 00:00:22,960 folks found these things that look like 8 00:00:26,550 --> 00:00:25,119 impact craters in arabia terra but 9 00:00:27,910 --> 00:00:26,560 they're missing some features and they 10 00:00:29,509 --> 00:00:27,920 have some different features that 11 00:00:41,270 --> 00:00:29,519 actually make them look more like 12 00:00:46,150 --> 00:00:43,670 on earth we can't actually see this far 13 00:00:48,310 --> 00:00:46,160 in the past in many places because we 14 00:00:51,029 --> 00:00:48,320 have erosion on earth so we don't have 15 00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:51,039 access to a great geologic record for 16 00:00:55,510 --> 00:00:53,760 three billion years ago on earth on mars 17 00:00:57,910 --> 00:00:55,520 we can see that 18 00:01:01,110 --> 00:00:57,920 we're trying to understand just how 19 00:01:03,029 --> 00:01:01,120 large explosions or large lava flows on 20 00:01:08,550 --> 00:01:03,039 places like earth but also other planets 21 00:01:13,910 --> 00:01:11,350 so we know from just the last century 22 00:01:15,990 --> 00:01:13,920 the very large volcanoes do have a 23 00:01:17,990 --> 00:01:16,000 climate impact this tells us something 24 00:01:19,990 --> 00:01:18,000 really important about the history of
