Hydroates Chaos, Lakes, Outflow Channel, Terraces

Scientific paper

The Hydroates Chaos is a rather peculiar example of such a type of features. It is located between the Chrysie Planita and the eastern tip of the Valles Marineris. This area is extremely rich of chaotic terrains, which are the source for the largest set of outflow channels on Mars. The Hydroates Chaos (HC) is the origin of two outflow channels from its northern rim, but another channel flows into the Chaos from the south. Thus, the HC acted as a real "lake" receiving water from southern chaotic areas and pouring water to the north in the Chrysie Planitia. This peculiarity has generated a complex geological history that is fossilised in several features.
