Albedo

Albedo is the fraction of sunlight that is diffusely reflected by a body.

See Tempe Fossae and Albedo

Arcadia quadrangle

The Arcadia quadrangle is one of a series of 30 quadrangle maps of Mars used by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Astrogeology Research Program.

Fossa (planetary nomenclature)

In planetary nomenclature, a fossa (pl. fossae) is a long, narrow depression (trough) on the surface of an extraterrestrial body, such as a planet or moon.

Geology of Mars

The geology of Mars is the scientific study of the surface, crust, and interior of the planet Mars.

Graben

In geology, a graben is a depressed block of the crust of a planet or moon, bordered by parallel normal faults.
