Images of rocks in the canyon walls almost always show layers. Some layers appear tougher than others. In the image below of Ganges Chasma Layers, as seen by HiRISE, one can see that the upper, light-toned deposits are eroding much faster than the lower darker layers. Some cliffs on Mars show a few darker layers standing out and often breaking ...
Ius Chasma is a large canyon in the Coprates quadrangle of Mars at 7° south latitude and 85.8° west longitude. It is about 938 km long and was named after a classical albedo feature name. It is about 938 km long and was named after a classical albedo feature name.
Tithonium Chasma is a large canyon in the Coprates quadrangle of Mars at 4.6° south latitude and 84.7° west longitude. It is about 810 km long and was named after a classical albedo feature . [ 1 ]
Candor Chasma in mosaic of THEMIS infrared images, with parts of Ophir, Melas and Juventae chasmata at top, lower left and extreme upper right, respectively. Massive landslide deposits, the Melas Labes, are visible near the junction of Candor and Melas chasmata at bottom, just left of center.
The following set of images start with wide views of the whole planet that are centered near the Louros Valles. They transition to close views with enlarged HiRISE images. Wide view of layers in the Louros Valles, as seen by HiRISE under HiWish program.
Melas Chasma / ˈ m iː l ə s ˈ k æ z m ə / is a canyon on Mars, the widest segment of the Valles Marineris canyon system, [1] located east of Ius Chasma at 9.8°S, 283.6°E in Coprates quadrangle. It cuts through layered deposits that are thought to be sediments from an old lake that resulted from runoff of the valley networks to the west. [2]
Ophir Chasma in mosaic of THEMIS infrared images, with part of Candor Chasma at bottom. Ophir Chasma / ˈ oʊ f ər ˈ k æ z m ə / is a canyon in the Coprates quadrangle of Mars at 4° south latitude and 72.5° west longitude. It is about 317 km long and was named after Ophir, a land mentioned in the Bible.
Chasma Boreale is a large canyon in Mars's north polar ice cap in the Mare Boreum quadrangle of Mars at 83° north latitude and 47.1° west longitude. It is about 560 km (350 mi) long and was named after a classical albedo feature name. [ 1 ]
