About this image

Cerberus Fossae is a group of graben located near the southern part of Tartarus Montes. The graben are fault bounded blocks of material that have slide downward along the fault faces. The fossae cut through the hills of Tartarus Montes, which means the montes formed first and the fossae formed at some time after the montes.
