Cerberus Fossae

Cerberus Fossae is a series of underground cracks or fractures located on Mars. These fractures form long, trough-like features created by tectonic activity, where the planet’s crust has stretched and broken apart. They are notable because they sometimes release volcanic material or water, resulting in volcanic vents and possible evidence of past water flow. These features provide important clues about Mars’ geological history and the planet’s interior dynamics, offering insights into its potential habitability and the processes that have shaped its surface over millions of years.
