Interpretation
Figure 9-14. Collapse source and upper
reach of outflow channel on southwest flank of volcano Ammavaru. Main
channel, about 5.5 km wide, is contained within a linear trough that
extends south-southeast for about 300 km. A subsidiary channel about
1 km wide divides at the south limit of a linear scarp and reunites
farther downstream. Radar-bright responses from banks on both sides
of the channel south of the scarp probably denote levees in a plains
environment. Illumination is from the left at an incidence angle of
24 deg.
