TL;DR: Parker et al. as mentioned in this paper considered the formation of the outflow channels and valley networks discovered on the Martian northern plains during the Mariner 9 mission and suggested that geological processes capable of producing similar morphologies on earth, lacustrine or marine deposition and subsequent periglacial modification offer the simplest and most consistent explanation for the suit of features found on Mars.

TL;DR: The deeply entrenched canyons, with blunt amphitheater terminations, cliff-bench wall topography, lack of evidence of interior erosion by flow, and clear structural control, suggest headward extension by basal sapping.

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between the morphological parameters of lava flows and the process parameters, such as lava composition, eruption rate, and eruption temperature, was investigated using literature data on Hawaiian lava flows.

TL;DR: Stereo pictures from the Viking landing on volcanic terrain of undulating topography in the plains of Chryse as mentioned in this paper show that the bedrock is exposed along several ridge crests, and blocks are more numerous than can be attributed to impact ejecta.

TL;DR: The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) as discussed by the authors is one of the most sophisticated earth observing instruments ever flown, which consists of three independent bore-sighted telescopes with 14 channels in the visible, near-infrared, and thermal infrared regions capable of being pointed up to 22.5° off-nadir.
