Nia Chaos

Layers in Nia Chaos
Chaotic terrain, where the landscape is cracked, uneven and jumbled, doesn’t exist on Earth but only on Mars. Such terrain might be linked to past water activity. This image shows a part of the eastern limit of Nia Chaos, located in Candor Chasma. Our goal is to study the placement relations of the layers with adjacent deposits.
