the varying hues seen in this image of a crater slope on Mars represent different rock types. impact craters expose the subsurface materials on the steep slopes of the red planet. however, these slopes often experience rockfalls and debris avalanches that keep the surface clean of dust, revealing a variety of complexions, like in this enhanced-color image from our mars reconnaissance orbiter. the bright reddish material at the top of the crater rim is from a coating of the Martian dust.
the long streamers of material are from downslope movements. also revealed in this slope are a variety of bedrock textures, with a mix of layered and jumbled deposits. this sample is typical of the Martian highlands, with lava flows and water-lain materials depositing layers, then broken up and jumbled by many impact events.
