Craters-Unnamed_Craters_with_Sedimentary_Rock_Outcrops-PIA07127-01.jpgSedimentary Rocks (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)163 visiteCaption NASA originale:"Burial and Exhumation of Impact Craters, and their destruction by erosion, are common and repeated themes all over the Surface of Mars. Many Craters in Western Arabia Terra exhibit light-toned, Layered Outcrops of ancient Sedimentary Rock. Like the Sedimentary Rocks explored further to the South in Meridiani Planum by the Opportunity Mars Exploration Rover (MER-B), these "Intracrater Sedimentary Rocks" may have been deposited in water. This MGS-MOC image shows an example of light-toned Sedimentary Rocks outcropping in an Unnamed Crater that is much farther North than most of the similar examples in Western Arabia Terra. This one is located near 36,6° North Lat. and 1,4° West Long. and shows several old Impact Craters in various states of erosion and exhumation from beneath and within the Sedimentary Rock Materials. The image covers an area of approx. 3 Km".

Craters-Unnamed_Defrosting_Crater-PIA03921-01.jpgUnnamed Defrosting Crater (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)245 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This MGS-MOC image shows a Surface in the South Polar Region, covered by CO2 Frost. In this springtime scene, the Frost has begun to sublime so that Sandy Surfaces exhibit an abundance of Dark Spots. The circular depression is probably the remains of an Impact Crater. In summer, the Spotted Surfaces in this image would be darker than their surroundings, because they are patches of Windblown Sand".

Several Gullies extend from near the top of the Crater Rim, downslope toward the Floor of the Crater. Liquid water might have played a role in their genesis".

The orientation of the Dunes — with the steep faces toward the South — suggests that winds generally blew from North to South at the time the Dunes were formed".

Ascraeus Mons is about 460 Km (~286 mi) across and its summit is at an elevation of about 18 km (11 mi) above the "Martian Datum" (or Mars' Ground Zero, such as the elevation designated as 0 km). The center of the Summit Caldera is near 11° North Lat. and 104° West Long.". MareKromiumOtt 04, 2011
