Controlled photomosaics obtained by the Viking Orbiter 1 are used to study morphological features formed on Mars by erosion, with emphasis on those formed by ground and surface ice/water. In the Valles Marineris canyon, past melting of ground permafrost (due to a warmer climate or an elevated geothermal gradient) probably caused softening of the substratum, leading to a collapse of the surface and subsequent mud flows. It is suggested that networks in the Lunae Planum region probably resulted from running water on the surface. The existence of ejecta blankets surrounding impact craters in this area may confirm the existence of ground permafrost at the time of meteorite impact.
