Landslide deposits cover part of the floor of this unnamed crater in Tyrrhena Terra as seen by NASA 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft.

This image is located in the Tyrrhena Terra region. The cause of the bright markings/material is unknown. It is possible that the formation of the channels are exposing a series of bright layered material

These windstreaks are located in northern Terra Tyrrhena. The wind was blowing from NE to SW to create the streaks in the lee of the craters. This image is from NASA Mars Odyssey.

As wind is the only active geologic process on Mars today, sand and dust continue to be moved around the surface. Most craters host a sand dune or two, like this unnamed crater in Tyrrhena Terra. This image is from NASA 2001 Mars Odyssey.

This observation from NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter shows enigmatic, shallowly incised valleys, found in some mid- to low-latitude regions on Mars.

This VIS image is located in an unnamed crater within Tyrrhena Terra. The 'mitten' shaped feature extends from the crater rim (bottom of frame) onto the crater floor. Radial surface grooves and sharp margins are common with landslide deposits.

Large craters, like this 50-kilometer diameter one, can uplift material from below and form a mountain-like central peak. Craters of this size on Mars become unstable as they form and collapse due to gravity. Craters with central peaks and terraced rims are referred to as "complex" craters. Geologists study these central peaks because the uplifted bedrock was once deep within the Martian crust. A 3D perspective shows heavily-fractured bedrock exposed within the peak, and also dark-toned and fragmental rocks that formed during the impact process. Sometimes, we observe similar rocks in the crater wall terraces. Some areas of the terrace show dark-toned materials coating and surrounding the white- and green-colored bedrock. This dark-toned rock was the once-molten material that was produced by the tremendous energy generated during the formation of the crater. Similarly, the impact melt material coats and surrounds the higher-standing bedrock of the peak. There are additional exposures of bedrock in the northern wall-terraces of the crater. Previous HiRISE images have focused largely on central structures, but clearly the wall-terraces of these craters may also be informative in our exploration of the Martian subsurface.
