Valleys into a Central Pit

Valleys into a Central Pit

Valleys into a Central Pit
The valleys in this crater flow to the crater’s central pit. The valleys are relatively small for Mars (about 100 meters). In order to determine the paleo-discharges of potential paleo-rivers into the pit, high resolution imagery and digital terrain models are needed. With this data a better understanding of the water requirements for this crater can be determined.
