Craters-Unnamed_Crater-PIA06699-PCF-LXTT.jpgDark Slope Streaks (Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)139 visiteCaption NASA:"Dark Slope Streaks are a common feature on the Slopes thickly-mantled by Dust in the Tharsis, Arabia, and Western Amazonis Planitia egions of Mars. Less common are light-toned Slope Streaks, which often occur in the same area as Dark Streaks. They are most common in Arabia Terra, and some are shown in this MGS image. Slope Streaks are probably the result of sudden Avalanches of extremely dry Dust. The behavior of the avalanching dust is somewhat fluid-like and it is a phenomenon often observed during the Martian year.

Fienga - Lunexit Team)213 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This red wide angle MGS-MOC image, acquired in March 2004, shows Kunowsky Crater ringed by seasonal Frost. Kunowsky Crater is about 67 Km (~42 mi) in diameter. Wavy Clouds form to the East of the Crater in early Spring as winds circulate from West to East. The Crater is located at about 57,1° North Lat. and 9,7° West Long.". MareKromiumSet 30, 2011

Hills-Zephyria_Region-PIA07859-00.jpgFlow Features and Hills in Zephyria Planum (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team) 282 visiteCaption NASA originale:"This MGS-MOC image shows a Plain covered by Flow Material that surrounded and banked against 3 older, rounded Hills in the Zephyria Region. Although some investigators have proposed that the Flows covering Plains in this Region are the remains of an ice-covered lake, others have found considerable evidence, including small Volcanoes, to suggest that the Flows are Volcanic. The textures on these Flows resemble that of some of the Lava Flows in the Tharsis Region of Mars".

Flow_Features-Zephyria_Planum-PIA03066.jpgFlow Features in Zephyria Planum (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team) 249 visiteOriginal caption:"This MGS-MOC image shows the broken, platy texture of Flow Surfaces in the Zephyria Region of Mars. Some investigators have suggested that these materials represent the remains of an ice-covered lake; others suggest that these are the Surfaces of hardened Lava that - when it was erupting - was very hot and fluid. Although not illustrated here, a key piece of evidence against the ice-covered lake hypothesis is that there are some small Craters formed on these Surfaces, and some of them have Boulders in their Ejecta Blanket. The Boulders indicate that the material is rock-solid".
