Planetary Researchers Analyze Structure of Giant Martian Landslide 0

Unusually large and long ridges documented in massive landslides across our Solar System are commonly associated with the presence of ancient ice layers. To better understand how these features formed, an international team of planetary scientists analyzed 3D images of an extensive landslide in the Valles Marineris region of Mars. Their findings show the unique structures could have formed at high speeds of up to 224 mph (360 kmh) due to underlying layers of fragmented rocks; this challenges the idea that underlying layers of ice can only explain such long ridges.
