These channels exhibit features indicative of past fluid flow, potentially suggesting ancient hydrological activity. By studying these channels in detail, including their size, shape, and distribution, researchers can infer the nature of the fluids that once flowed through them, providing valuable insights into the Martian hydrological cycle and the potential for water-related processes, such as sediment deposition and erosion.
