Mars has long been considered a dead world with no liquid water on or near its surface. It is a cold, dry and frigid world. The old adage of ‘follow the water’ makes us think that if any life ever existed on Mars, it would be fossilized in dry lake beds, frozen in time for millions, even billions of years. We have been analysing the enigmatic dark streaks on the slopes of Martian landscapes found in satellite imagery. While currently theorized as possibly being dry sand avalanches, we find stark resemblance of many of these streaks to the mudflows emanating from the vents in the mud volcano fields of Pakistan. These mudflows composed of brine mixed with fine clay, ooze out with methane pressure and flow downhill on the surface until eventually drying out. Could the same mechanism be going on, on the surface of Mars? Mars seems dry, yet it locks oceans’ worth of water just beneath its surface in the form of permafrost. While it is not known if Mars has any current volcanic activity below its crust, there is evidence suggesting existence of areas with fairly recent volcanism. We believe it is possible that the trapped heat and pressure from intermittent underground volcanic activity and gravitational forces may be causing occasional melting of water-ice in the permafrost, which, combined with fine Martian regolith, volcanic ash, and possibly methane, may burst out occasionally to the surface appearing as dark streaks before drying out. This may be analogous to the mud-volcanic activity in Pakistan and other places on Earth. This paper discusses the similarities of the dark streaks on Mars to the mud volcanic flows in Pakistan, and possible existence of ongoing similar geological processes on Mars that result in the formation of mud volcanoes here on Earth.
