$Tractus Catena is a series of collapse pits and fractures south of Alba Mons as seen in this image from NASA's 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft. The collapse pits, which run in two directions in this image, are typically indicative of volcanic lava tubes.$

$The Kasei Valles region is very complex. This image captured by NASA's Mars Odyssey illustrates that complexity with features created by fluvial action (channels) and tectonic processes (fractures).$

$This image from NASA's 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft of the Claritas Fossae region illustrates how fractures affect other features. In this instance, the fractures control the path of several channels (from upper right towards lower left).$

$Oti Fossae are paired fractures with a downdropped block [called graben] located on the eastern flank of Arsia Mons as seen by NASA's 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft.$
