Inverted Riverbed in Gale Crater, Mars
myminifactory
Gale Crater is a vast, approximately 152 kilometer-diameter impact crater situated near the Martian equator. At its center lies a colossal mound of layered material, measuring nearly 4 kilometers in average vertical thickness. The Gale Crater layered deposits are more than double the thickness of those exposed along the Grand Canyon on Earth. A portion of this monumental mound is visible, featuring an inverted fluvial or river channel. As sediments were cemented together, forming a harder layer resistant to erosion, topographic inversion occurred. This process left the former riverbed exposed as a ridge—a topographic high. Scientists initially detected this inverted channel using Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) images onboard the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft.
