These Martian landforms were created when volcanic ash was modified by water to various degrees over millennia. These layered deposits are on a plateau near Juventae Chasma in the Valles Marineris region of Mars. Researchers have found that these bright layered deposits contain opaline silica and iron sulfates, which hint at their origins. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona
