Mangala Valles
Mangala Valles is a complex system of criss-crossing channels on Mars , located in the Tharsis region and in the Memnonia quadrangle . It originates in the Hesperian and Amazonian epochs . It is thought to be an outflow channel , carved by catastrophic floods, and the release of vast quantities of water across the Martian surface. This flooding was probably initiated by tectonic stretching and the formation of a graben , Mangala Fossa , at the channels' head, perhaps breaching a pressurized aquifer trapped beneath a thick " cryosphere " (layer of frozen ground) beneath the surface. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Mangala Valles contains several basins which filled, then the overflow went through a series of spillways. [8] [9] One source of waters for the system was Memonia Fossae, but water also probably came from a large basin centered at 40 degrees S. [10] [11]

Mangala Valles is a complex system of criss-crossing channels on Mars , located in the Tharsis region originating in the Amazonian epoch . "Mangala" comes from the word for Mars in Sanskrit . The channels were probably carved by water many thousands of years ago and lack tributaries . It appears that the water started coming out of the surface when a graben was formed. [1] [2] It has been suggested that massive amounts of water were trapped under pressure beneath a thick cryosphere (layer of frozen ground), then the water was suddenly released, perhaps when the cryosphere was broken by the graben.
