$The grabens (fractures) that dominate this scene from NASA's Mars Odyssey spacecraft are located northwest of a large shield volcano called Elysium Mons. Layered rock is evident along the lips of the graben as are ripples on the floors of these features.$

$The channel-like features in image captured by NASA's 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft are fracture sets related to the formation of Iani Chaos, which occurs directly north of the image.$

$This image from NASA's Mars Odyssey captures Mangala Fossa. Mangala Fossa is a graben, which in geologic terminology translates into a long parallel to semi-parallel fracture or trough.$

$The fracture is this image captured by NASA's 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft cuts right through a hill, indicating tremendous tectonic stresses were at work to create this feature.$

Cerberus Fossae Fracture
$Tectonics played the major role in shaping the surface of this image captured by NASA's 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft. This image contains arcuate fractures and isolated depressions containing chaos.$
