“Mass wasting” is another term for describing landslides, and over the years, HiRISE has captured avalanches and other indications of the mass movement of material in a variety of landscapes.

Here, we see what are probably very large dust avalanche scars down the southern wall of this impact crater near Amazonis Mensa. What caused the landslide? We can also see two dark slope streaks that will eventually fade. Was the larger landslide also darker colored at one point and was later covered up by other dust?
