Detailed 1:500,000-scale geological maps and regional 1:15,000,000-scale compilations of the Mangala region were constructed and used to examine the relative timing of major flood events of Mangala Valles and to compare it to the timing of the emplacement of local lava flows and of faulting episodes of Memnonia Fossae. It is shown that two catastrophic floods at Mangala Valles are correlative in time with faulting events at Memnonia Fossae during Late Hesperian and Late Hesperian/Early Amazonian and that faulting also corresponds to the Pavonis I and II episodes of Tharsis-centered radial faulting when lava flows were emplaced in and east of the channel system.
