Signs of the wind in Chryse Planitia (Original NASA/MGS/MSSS b/w Frame)
|
Caption NASA originale:"This MGS-MOC image shows two Unnamed Impact Craters of nearly equal size, plus their associated Windstreaks. These occur in far Eastern Chryse Planitia. The Wind streaks point toward the South-West, indicating that the responsible Winds blew from the North-East. One of the two craters is shallower than the other and has a suite of large, windblown Ripples on its Floor. The shallower Unnamed Crater with the Ripples is probably older than the other, deeper Unnamed Crater".
Location near: 20,6° North Lat. and 30,1° West Long.
