Medium (1:2,000,000) and high (1:500,000) resolution Viking images were used to locate, map, and analyze drainage systems of six moderate-sized Martian volcanoes of various ages (including Ceraunius Tholus, Hecates Tholus, Alba Patera, Hadriaca Patera, Apollinaris Patera, and Tyrrhena Patera) in order to determine the origin and the evolution of valley forms on these volcanoes. The morphological characteristics of the drainage forms were compared to those of terrestrial volcanic valleys of known origin. On the basis of studies of valleys on the Hawaiian volcanoes, an evolutionary sequence for valleys on the Martian volcanoes is proposed.
