The article reports on the evidence of water gush on Mars. This paper provides information on the recent volcanic activity that are recorded by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The orbiter recently launched to observe and have photographs of high-resolution quality around Mars. Niels Hovius at the University of Cambridge in Great Britain suggested that signs of volcanic and flowing meltwater might be the logical evidence that the planet is relatively active in recent times. More observations on the geomorphic evidence are discussed briefly.
