Mars: Second Order Landscapes
• The Other Great Volcanic Rise– Elysium
– “Only” 6 km thick– “Only” 2,000 km across

Mars: Second Order Landscapes
• The Volcanic Rises– Elysium
• Glacial features on Hecates? Argued to be snow derived during an ice age produced by a greater obliquity

Mars: Second Order Landscapes
• The Great Canyons– Valles Marineris
– Faulting/rifting– Not your ordinary grand canyon (east end is actually
higher than the middle)– Valles cut into layered material (sediments? lava?)– Extensional rifting (perhaps like East Africa? or not)– Some sign of shear faulting (like San Andreas?)– Pitting (suggests extension)– Alcoves (suggesting subsurface flow)– Landsliding widens the rifts– Massive jökulhlaup-like outflows

Mars: Second Order Landscapes• The Great Canyons
– Valles Marineris– Looks like a canyon draining into Margaritifer and then Chryse– But look at the elevations of the central and eastern ends
