This is a gorgeous image of a scarp (cliff) located in the Arabia Terra region of Mars. Large sections of the cliff appear broken off, but still offer us a terrific look at the stratigraphy. Our question is: how did these break up into blocks? Might ground collapse be at work, or perhaps some other process?
Arabia Terra is located in the north of Mars.
