Although the Tharsis region of Mars is best known for its towering volcanoes and extensive lava flows the volcanic activity responsible ended long ago. Since then wind has been the active process, slowly eroding the surface and depositing fine materials. This image shows a small region of wind erosion and deposition in the Tharsis area.
