Gullies on the edge of Newton Basin (extra-detail mgnf)
|
The gullies start near the top of the wall and can be traced across a break in slope partway down the wall (see here, 750 mt across). This break in slope occurs along the entire portion of the Crater wall in this image. The gullies appear shallower just above the break in slope, and deeper below the slope break.
This suggests that the fluid which eroded and carved out the wall materials forming the gullies, increased in velocity after the slope break, creating a deeper section of the gully.
