Mojave is a rayed crater, another indication of its youth, and is the largest such crater on Mars. Based on crater counts of its ejecta blanket , it is thought to be about 3 million years old. It is believed to be the most recent crater of its size on Mars, and has been identified as the probable source of the shergottite meteorites collected ...
The largest, Kasei Vallis, is around 3,500 km (2,200 mi) long, greater than 400 km (250 mi) wide and exceeds 2.5 km (1.6 mi) in depth cut into the surrounding plains. The outflow channels contrast with the Martian channel features known as " valley networks ", which much more closely resemble the dendritic planform more typical of terrestrial ...

Mars is much less tectonically active than Earth, and marsquakes are unlikely to have provided seismic waves of the required magnitude. [10] Most sizable craters on Mars date to the Late Heavy Bombardment , 4.1 to 3.8 billion years ago (the Noachian period), and are older than the landslide deposits in Valles Marineris.
Martian dust devil photographed by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. This dust devil is 800 m (2,600 ft) tall and 30 m (98 ft) wide. This dust devil is 800 m (2,600 ft) tall and 30 m (98 ft) wide. The existence of dust devils on Mars was confirmed by analysis of data from the Viking probes in the early 1980s.
Until January 28, 1998, when professional surfer Ken Bradshaw was photographed riding a wave with a reported 85-foot (26 m) face, it was believed that Greg Noll's 1969 photo had showed the largest wave ever photographed. During that famous swell in January 1998, several people reported seeing waves with 60–80-foot (18–24 m) faces at KaŹ»ena ...
