ESP_017348_1910_RED_abrowse-00.jpgPolygonal Ridges in Gordii Dorsum (CTX Frame - Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)84 visiteThis image from the Gordii Dorsum Region of Mars shows a large area covered with Polygonal Ridges in an almost geometric pattern.
The Ridges may have originally been Dunes which hardened (indurated) through the action of an unknown process.

Groundwater might have been involved.

PSP_006984_1840_RED_abrowse~0.jpgLayers in Gordii Dorsum (MULTISPECTRUM; credits: Lunexit)55 visiteThis image shows distinctive differences in the texture of the ground surface in an area of Mars called Gordii Dorsum.

The upper right part of the image contains many subparallel ridges. These ridges are geological features called yardangs (long irregular ridges carved by wind erosion). The lower half of the image is smoother and contains a few small knobs and ridges. This area of Mars contains extensive outcroppings of layered sedimentary rocks that may have formed by the accumulation of sand and dust either blown in by the wind, transported by water, or some combination of processes such as these.

The distinctive surface textures may be due to differences in the rock structure and formation process. Mapping differences in the surface textures such as these may help to reveal how these rocks formed and advance our understanding of the geologic history of Mars.
