MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
November 9, 2011
o Wrinkle Ridges in Eastern Meridiani Planum
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_020705_1845
This wrinkle ridge crosses through a mound of layered material
that's been exposed by erosion.
o Light-Toned Layered Rocks in Arabia and East Xanthe Regions
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_020732_2000
One possibility is that the bright terrain used to be covered with
the darker material which has been stripped off and removed.
o Gullies and Lobate Material in a Crater in the Nereidum Montes
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_020786_1420
This image includes a crater that has been heavily influenced by
later geologic processes.
o Lava Coating, Flood-Carved Kasei Valles
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_024202_2010
The lava in Kasei Valles only coats the lowermost part of the huge
valleys and comes from a source between the huge Tharsis volcanoes.
