planetary geological features

Post by aardvaark » Wed Jun 25, 2008 11:14 pm

I'm curiuos and I don't have the answer yet. Mars has the largest gash on its surface than any other planet or moon in our solar system. Exactly how many planets, planetoids,moons and moonlets have similar gashes along their surface areas.Are they of similar ages or spread out over millions of years.

Here is a list of all terrestrial type (rocky) planets and moons with linked images. All are unique and many have similar linear features. Few have an absence of ridges or valleys.

Wow!! is right. :shock: That is a very impressive collection of links and I think it is of enough value to have a permanent posting as reference material for this site.

What do the moderators think of that?

Thankyou verry very much for this.
