MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
October 2, 2013

o Differential Compaction around a Crater Peak
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_033108_1800

  Does the graben in this image show evidence of what geologists
  call "differential compaction"?

o Aligned Scallops
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_033111_2300
 
  This observation shows what we call "scalloped terrain," that
  appears here to merge in a linear depression.

o Colorful Dunes

  When there are perfect conditions for producing sand dunes--steady
  wind in one direction and just enough sand--barchan sand dunes form.
