Today's VIS image shows a section of Cerberus Fossae. Located southeast of the Elysium Planitia volcanic complex, the linear graben in the image were created by tectonic forces related to the volcanic activity. The graben are sources of both channels and significant volcanic flows. The Cerberus Fossae graben cut across features such as hills, indicating the relative youth of the tectonic activity. Graben form where extensional tectonic forces allows blocks of material to subside between paired faults. Cerberus Fossae are 270km (168 miles) long. Just off the image to the right is the start of …
