ZZ-Mercury-Volcanic_Regions-Plains-PIA13676.jpgSmooth Plains and Impact Craters81 visiteThis scene, a mosaic of images acquired as MESSENGER approached Mercury for its third fly-by of the Planet, shows a large expanse of Smooth Volcanic Plains near the center of the image.
Most Smooth Plains are believed to have formed by Lavas that flooded Mercury's Surface. In this view, Craters are visible that have been nearly filled with Lava, leaving only traces of their Circular Rims.
Curving Scarps (or "Cliffs") and "Wrinkle Ridges" can also be seen running mostly from top to bottom of the frame. The density of Impact Craters on the Smooth Plains is less than on the heavily Cratered Terrain visible in the upper right and lower right corners of this image.
The presence of fewer Impact Craters per unit area means that the Volcanic Smooth Plains are younger than the Cratered Terrain.
During orbital observations beginning in 2011, MESSENGER will gather high-resolution and color imaging data to map the global extent of Mercury's Volcanic Smooth Plains, gaining clues to the composition of the Plains and unraveling the History of Volcanism on the Solar System's Innermost Planet. The named craters Picasso, Firdousi and Steichen are visible in this scene.
Date Acquired: September, 29th, 2009
Instrument: Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS)
Scale: The bottom edge of this image is approximately 1450 Km (900,45 miles) acrossMareKromium
