Athabasca Valles
Athabasca Valles is a late Amazonian -period outflow channel in the central Elysium Planitia region of Mars , located to the south of the Elysium Rise . It is part of a network of outflow channels in this region that are understood to emanate from large fissures in the Martian surface rather than the chaos terrains that source the circum- Chryse outflow channels. Athabasca Valles in particular emanates from one of the Cerberus Fossae fissures and flows downstream to the southwest, constrained to the south by a wrinkle ridge for over 100 km, before debouching into the Cerberus Palus volcanic plain. Athabasca Valles is widely understood to be the youngest outflow channel on the planet. [1] [2] [3]

Athabasca Valles is an outflow channel on Mars , cut into its surface by catastrophic flooding . It is one of the youngest known of these structures, probably forming only in the geologically recent past of Mars. [1] The flood produced distinctive "teardrop" landforms similar to those found in the Channeled Scablands on Earth . [2] It is thought that these landforms were produced though depositional processes wherein the floodwaters dropped sediment behind resistant bedrock outcroppings and craters. [3] The source of water for the flood is thought to be Cerberus Fossae , at 10 N and 157 E. [3] [4] Groundwater may have been trapped under a cryosphere which was broken when the fossae was created.
