Distribution, Morphology and Structural Associations of Martian Pit Crater
Introduction: Pit craters are circular to elliptical collapse features that commonly occur in alignments (chains) and that coalesce into troughs [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. We have begun systematically mapping the regional distribution of pit chains in the western hemisphere of Mars using the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) data. Pit chains are most prominent in the Alba Patera region and along the Vall...
متن کاملPost-Triassic normal faulting and extensional structures in Central Alborz, Northern Iran
This paper presents structural evidence of extensional activity in Central Alborz during Mesozoic. The structural evidence of homogenous early stage stretching such as layer-parallel to oblique boudinage of Permian and Triassic rocks in various portions of the study area accompanied by extensional-fibrous fractures were followed with more advanced extensional features. These extensional structu...
متن کاملMartian Subsurface Properties and Crater Formation Processes Inferred
Introduction: The geometries of simple impact craters reflect the properties of the target materials, and the diverse range of fluidized morphologies observed in Martian ejecta blankets are controlled by the near surface composition and the climate at the time of impact. Using the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter data set, quantitative information about the strength of the upper crust and the dynam...
متن کاملsimulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
