HiRISE image: Chevrons on a Marte Vallis lava flow
Lava flows cool as they move allowing their surface to freeze solid. The constant movement below this surface can break it up into a rough mass of jumbled broken rock. Sometimes larger surface areas that are thicker can behave like … Continue reading
