Aram Chaos

The Complexities of Rock
This stunning image gives us a glimpse of rock structures in Aram Chaos. Our goal is to study the complex superposition relationships among the fractured blocks. A digital terrain model can help us to understanding the orientation of the bedding as well. Aram Chaos is at the eastern end of Valles Marineris and is a circular depression created by various geological processes.
