Figure 9-7. Flow fields of Mylitta Fluctus in Lavinia Planitia. Numbered rectangle show (1) a bright flow across the flank of the shield volcano with dark channels and bright levees (sout) and mottled marginal channels and levees (north); (2 and 7) flows blocked by arcuate lineaments (scarps or troughs); (3) dark, relatively uniformtextured fows; (4) mottled texture (whic may represent short overlapping flows); (5) subparallel elongate flows with reasonably uniform texture, widths of 20 to 30 km, and perimeters bounded by areas of lower backscatter; (6) a branching and braided channel with some well-defined, radar-bright levees. The black band is data dropout. Illumination is from the left at an incidence angle of 22 deg.
