Martian landscape. This HiRISE image shows striated highlands, probably the result of what is termed 'mass wasting' when material higher up collapses and flows downslope. Claritas Rupes extends southward from the western edge of Noctis Labyrinthus and divides the volcanic flows of Deadalia Planum and Solis Planum. This area also has other interesting geological features, such as fractures and a graben, which is a depressed block of land bordered by parallel faults. Image shows terrain less than 5 km (3 mi) across. A unique optimised version of NASA imagery. Credit: NASA/JPL/UArizona
