Description	169384main pia09189-330.jpg English: NASA http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/MRO/multimedia/pia09189.html Ridges as Evidence of Fluid Alteration Tectonic fractures within the Candor Chasma region of Valles Marineris, Mars, retain ridge-like shapes as the surrounding bedrock erodes away. This points to past episodes of fluid alteration along the fractures and reveals clues into past fluid flow and geochemical conditions below the surface.
