Rivers on Mars and Earth
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: (a) Winding canyons on Mars, such as the one in this Viking 1 orbiter
image, appear to be formed by sustained water flow. This theory
is supported by the terraces seen on the canyon walls in
high-resolution Mars Orbiter images. Long periods of water
flow require that the planet’s atmosphere was once thicker
and its climate more Earthlike
