Like other outflow channels, it was carved by liquid water, probably during gigantic floods. Kasei is about 2,400 kilometers (1,500 miles) long. Some sections of Kasei Valles are 300 kilometers (200 miles) wide. It begins in Echus Chasma, near Valles Marineris, and empties into Chryse Planitia, not far from where Viking 1 landed. Sacra Mensa, a large tableland divides Kasei into northern and southern channels) |
