Ravi Vallis

Index Ravi Vallis

Ravi Vallis is an ancient outflow channel, the source of which originates from the Aromatum Chaos depression, and is situated at the eastern end of Xanthe Terra, in the Margaritifer Sinus quadrangle (MC-19) region of Mars, located at. [1]

Aquifer

An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing material, consisting of permeable or fractured rock, or of unconsolidated materials (gravel, sand, or silt).

See Ravi Vallis and Aquifer

Aromatum Chaos

Aromatum Chaos is a deep depression, in what is considered chaotic terrain. Ravi Vallis and Aromatum Chaos are Margaritifer Sinus quadrangle, Mars stubs and valleys and canyons on Mars.

See Ravi Vallis and Aromatum Chaos

Chaos terrain

In astrogeology, chaos terrain, or chaotic terrain, is a planetary surface area where features such as ridges, cracks, and plains appear jumbled and enmeshed with one another.

See Ravi Vallis and Chaos terrain

Geology of Mars

The geology of Mars is the scientific study of the surface, crust, and interior of the planet Mars.

See Ravi Vallis and Geology of Mars

Hydraotes Chaos

Hydraotes Chaos is a broken-up region in the Oxia Palus quadrangle of Mars, located at 0.8° North and 35.4° West. Ravi Vallis and Hydraotes Chaos are Mars stubs.

Journal of Geophysical Research

The Journal of Geophysical Research is a peer-reviewed scientific journal.

Kasei Valles

The Kasei Valles are a giant system of canyons in Mare Acidalium and Lunae Palus quadrangles on Mars, centered at 24.6° north latitude and 65.0° west longitude. Ravi Vallis and Kasei Valles are valleys and canyons on Mars.

List of areas of chaos terrain on Mars

This is a list of areas of chaos terrain officially named by the International Astronomical Union on the planet Mars.

See Ravi Vallis and List of areas of chaos terrain on Mars

Mangala Valles

The Mangala Valles are a complex system of criss-crossing channels on Mars, located in the Tharsis region and in the Memnonia quadrangle. Ravi Vallis and Mangala Valles are valleys and canyons on Mars.

See Ravi Vallis and Mangala Valles

Margaritifer Sinus quadrangle

The Margaritifer Sinus quadrangle is one of a series of 30 quadrangle maps of Mars used by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Astrogeology Research Program.

Mars

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun.

Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter

MOLA topographic images of the two hemispheres of Mars. This image appeared on the cover of ''Science'' magazine in May 1999. The Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) was one of five instruments on the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) spacecraft, which operated in Mars orbit from September 1997 to November 2006.

Martian chaos terrain

Chaos terrain on Mars is distinctive; nothing on Earth compares to it.

See Ravi Vallis and Martian chaos terrain

Outburst flood

In geomorphology, an outburst flood—a type of megaflood—is a high-magnitude, low-frequency catastrophic flood involving the sudden release of a large quantity of water.

See Ravi Vallis and Outburst flood

Outflow channels

Outflow channels are extremely long, wide swathes of scoured ground on Mars. Ravi Vallis and Outflow channels are valleys and canyons on Mars.

See Ravi Vallis and Outflow channels

Topographic map

In modern mapping, a topographic map or topographic sheet is a type of map characterized by large-scale detail and quantitative representation of relief features, usually using contour lines (connecting points of equal elevation), but historically using a variety of methods.

See Ravi Vallis and Topographic map

United States Geological Survey

The United States Geological Survey (USGS), founded as the Geological Survey, is an agency of the United States government whose work spans the disciplines of biology, geography, geology, and hydrology.

See Ravi Vallis and United States Geological Survey

Vallis (planetary geology)

Vallis or valles (plural valles) is the Latin word for valley. Ravi Vallis and Vallis (planetary geology) are valleys and canyons on Mars.

See Ravi Vallis and Vallis (planetary geology)

Water on Mars

Almost all water on Mars today exists as ice, though it also exists in small quantities as vapor in the atmosphere.
