Location: South Mars, 1.6 km south west from Valles Marineris Date built: July 2069 Date finished: August 2070 Information: In 2065 the humans started influencing the LGM’s many Earth religions now also existed on Mars, the LGM Buddists built this temple. The famous Buddhist temple is built in three layers - a pyramidal base with five concentric square terraces, a cone with three circular platforms and at the top, a monumental stupa. The walls and balustrades are decorated with bas-reliefs, covering a total surface of 2,500 square metres.

Location: South Mars Depth: 10km Length: 4000km long Information: Since discovery of Valles Marineris, the method of their formation has been a nagging puzzle. The canyons do not form a well integrated drainage system; some are completely closed depressions, and lateral transport by wind or water would be considerably impeded. Now, however, the new evidence of faulting suggests that most negative relief results from subsidence. Low, straight scarps, which apparently indicate downward subsidence of canyon floors along faults, cut across erosional features on many canyon walls. Similar scale faulting occurs on Earth: in East Africa the continental crust is in tension across large rift valleys. Erosion of the Valles Marineris walls apparently continued into the recent past, so the crustal tension causing the faulting within the canyons may also have been a relatively recent phenomenon. |
