Summary[edit]

Description
English: This image from the camera system on NASA.s Mars Odyssey was acquired of Candor Chasma within Valles Marineris, centered near 5 degrees south latitude, 283 degrees west longitude. This visible color image shows the effects of erosion on a sequence of dramatically layered rocks. These layers were initially deposited within Candor Chasma and have subsequently been eroded by a variety of processes, including wind and down-slope motion due to gravity. Relatively dark materials appear to mantle some areas of the layered deposits; these dark materials are likely sand. Few impact craters of any size can be seen in this image, indicating that the erosion and transport of material is occurring at a relatively rapid rate, so that any craters that form are rapidly buried or eroded. This image was acquired using the thermal infrared imaging system.s visible bands 1 (centered at 420nanometers), 2 (centered at 550 nanometers), and 3 (centered at 650nanometers), and covers an area approximately 19 kilometers (12 miles) in width by 50 kilometers (50 miles) in length.
