"Several of the streaks are triggered by impact craters 
that have dark ejecta."

"Other interesting observations include triggering of 
slope streaks by an impact crater, blast from an impact 
explosion, or boulders rolling or bouncing downslope, 
and formation of long linear ridges within the streak 
that are parallel to its margins."
