This would have resulted in the surface being eroded by water while the ice shell was intact and as the ice shell was eroded and swept away the surface of Mars would have become the dessicated surface we see but with evidence of water flowing as well. Much like water flowing beneath a glacier on earth but on a much larger scale. How did Mars lose its magnetic field? Is it due to external changes or are there other possible reasons?
