MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES November 9, 2011
o Wrinkle Ridges in Eastern Meridiani Planum http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_020705_1845 This wrinkle ridge crosses through a mound of layered material that's been exposed by erosion. o Light-Toned Layered Rocks in Arabia and East Xanthe Regions http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_020705_1845 One possibility is that the bright terrain used to be covered with the darker material which has been stripped off and removed. o Gullies and Lobate Material in a Crater in the Nereidum Montes This image includes a crater that has been heavily influenced by later geologic processes. o Lava Coating, Flood-Carved Kasei Valles The lava in Kasei Valles only coats the lowermost part of the huge valleys and comes from a source between the huge Tharsis volcanoes. All of the HiRISE images are archived here: http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ Information about the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is online at http://www.nasa.gov/mro.
