Sinuous gullies on Mars: Frequency, distribution, and implications for flow properties
[1] Recent gullies on Mars are suspected to be the result of liquid‐water‐bearing flows. A formation from wet flows has been challenged by studies invoking granular (dry) flows. Our study focuses on the sinuous shapes observed for some of the recent Martian gullies. Sinuous gullies are found in locations and slopes (of 10°–15°) similar to straight gullies, and they are therefore related to the ...
متن کاملSinuous gullies on Mars : Distribution, mechanical properties and consequences for gullies formation
Recent gullies are erosional landforms developed on hillslopes in recent Martian time (less than 10 My). The nature of the fluid that created the erosion was initially considered as debris flows, but this is still under discussion. Indeed, hypotheses invoking only dry granular slides explain many characteristics of the gullies channels, their size, length, presence of levees and terminal deposi...
متن کاملLunar sinuous rilles: Distribution, characteristics, and implications for their origin
Lunar sinuous rilles (SRs) are enigmatic features interpreted to have formed as the result of lava erosion into the lunar surface. While specific SRs have been studied in detail over the past few decades, the most recent general survey of these features was conducted in 1969 using Lunar Orbiter IV and V photographs. The current global study updates the catalog of SRs, using higher resolution SE...
متن کاملSinuous flow in metals.
Annealed metals are surprisingly difficult to cut, involving high forces and an unusually thick "chip." This anomaly has long been explained, based on ex situ observations, using a model of smooth plastic flow with uniform shear to describe material removal by chip formation. Here we show that this phenomenon is actually the result of a fundamentally different collective deformation mode--sinuo...
متن کاملNorthern-hemisphere Gullies on Mars – Distribution and Orientation from the Evaluation of Hrsc and Moc-na Data
Introduction: Gullies show morphologic features that indicate the presence of a flowing liquid during their forming process [1]. However, the current climate in the northern hemisphere of Mars does not allow the existence of substantial amounts of liquid water for a long time. Therefore, the exploration of particular young landforms, such as gullies is a valuable tool for understanding the most...
