I was looking at some of the HiRise images around Cyd*nia. Some of the mesa's are in the Volcanic category. What are the current prevailing theories for how these mesa's and surrounding terrain were formed ? For example here is one ... http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/PSP_010143_2215

I hope this is not too much of a basic question for this site, but I am unfamiliar with the places to go hunting for papers and Google turns up the usual "noise" (I think you can guess what I mean) about Cyd*nia.

Any help appreciated. I want to get to know more about what is an interesting region to me.

Thanks ! mars.gif smile.gif

That got me through the noise to Lake Bonneville ... as cited in the JPL paper (Parker
et al., 1993). One of the possible Earth analogs of this region.
