THEMIS: Labeatis Fossae in Tempe Terra
THEMIS Image of the Day, July 4, 2019. The linear depressions in this VIS image are graben called Labeatis Fossae. Graben are formed when extension between paired faults causes the material to move downward. These are part of a general … Continue reading

THEMIS: Faulting in Labeatis Fossae
THEMIS Image of the Day, June 7, 2019. The linear depressions in this VIS image were created by tectonic forces. The sides of the depression are faults. Paired faults will allow the block of material between them to “slide down” … Continue reading

THEMIS: Volcanic fissure in Labeatis Fossae
THEMIS Image of the Day, May 8, 2018. The feature that crosses this VIS image is a graben. Graben are formed by tectonic action, where a block of material moves downward between a pair of faults. The northern part of … Continue reading
