Mars offers some analogue geomorphological structures reminding on terrestrial fluvial patterns. Terrestrial processes and those on Mars are quite similar in a difference of process dimensions. But in contrast to Earth, most Martian valley networks are non active features since 3.7 Ga. Based on this, we have to investigate geological and geomorphological processes on Earth in order to conclude environmental conditons during Noachian times. Interior channels should give us a chance to estimate a minimum size of discharge rates and water amounts to understand climate conditions on early Mars to clear the question why significant fluvial erosion ceased during the history of Mars.
