Scientific paper

A broad range of topics related to Martian valleys are discussed including: terminology, classification, distribution, morphology, age, quantitative analysis of pattern, physics of flow, origin, and the relation of Martian valleys to climatic change. Channels are distinguished from valleys on the basis of: (1) the greater size of the large channels; and (2) the presence of flow erosions morphology in channels. Valleys generally are small (less than 5 km wide, less than 1 km deep), show little direct evidence of erosion by flow, and form ramified networks which coalesce down regional slopes. Data on morphology and planimetric characteristics of 240 Martian valley networks are presented.
