China ’s Zhurong rover found evidence for wind, waves, no shortage of sand, study authors say.

The rover landed in Utopia Planitia , a plain within the largest known impact basin on Mars , near a series of ridges.

Scientists have long questioned whether ridges might represent the remnants of a shoreline.

The team believes the rover found “foreshore deposits,” which take millions of years to form.

Rivers likely helped dump sediment into the oceans, which was then distributed by waves to create beaches.

After the ocean dried up, the beaches were likely blanketed by volcanic eruptions and material from dust storms.
