Periodic Oscillation

Crater Subtraction

Periodic Oscillation (in the flat plane): Formation of Oscillation: Unknown Candidate Seismic formation processes: L Wave, S Wave. (Seismic wave propagation origin unlikely due to the observed extreme amplitude >4,000 km).

Terrain-corrected orthoimage using images sourced from ESA Mars Express High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC). HRSC image sets were processed to Digital Terrain Models (DTM) based on an opensource stereo photogrammetric package called CASP-GO and merged with 71 published DTMs from the HRSC team. Each HRSC strip is normalised against a global albedo map to ensure that different lighting conditions are corrected, resulting in a tiled set of seamless mosaics. Used with open source permission from: 'Seamless 3D Image Mapping and Mosaicing of Valles Marineris on Mars Using Orbital HRSC Stereo and Panchromatic Images’   2021 You Tao et al https://doi.org/10.3390/rs13071385

'There are many cases in the history of Science where people thought things were more complicated than they actually were because they hadn’t found the most simple description of it’. Max Tegmark

The observational evidence for the hypothesis that the simple maths of a sinusoidal curve (periodic oscillation) can precisely describe the shape of Valles Marineris.
