Abstract

Life on Mars has been considered a possibility only in the wildest of wild dreams and that too only amongscientists. It was considered a far from happening possibility as it wasn’t based on the environment ofEarth but of a different planet as a whole. Newly found microorganisms could help in finding the proof oflife on the planet Mars. If successful, it could help in various ways for our planet, Earth. Researchers havefound billions of bacteria live in tiny cracks in volcanic rocks below the ocean floor, more than nine milesbelow the ocean surface and a further 300 feet below the ocean floor. And they think similar tiny, clay-filledcracks in rocks on or below Mars’ surface could be a life containing hub. To find a correlation betweenthe environment on the surface of Mars and that of which is beneath the seabed. A thorough literaturesearch was performed using the database like PubMed, Google scholar, BioRxiv, MESH, Google Cochranedatabase using the keywords ‘Martian surface’ and ’rocks beneath seabed’ with no date and year restrictions.The language is restricted to English. 16 articles with similar data have been found which were analyzedand have been included in this study. The recent articles discussed in this study help us in gaining furtherknowledge about the ‘relation between Mars and Earth’ and how it affects life on earth. We could come to aresult that there are slight correlations between the environments of both the planets. This review would alsohelp us be enlightened about how far we humans have come to realize the correlation between life on earthand that of the possibility of Mars.
