Science Question:
Given similar flat valleys with the dimensions of 1500-2200 meters, and surrounded by eroded hills, will the valleys on Mars have fewer or more partially eroded hills on the valley floor?
Main Results:
Mars has one eroded hill for every 92,000 sq. m. whereas our valley on Earth has one eroded hill for every 125,000 sq. m. which is 34% more partially eroded hills on Mars than in the valley on Earth.
