Aram Chaos outflow channel: water volume and time scale (original) (raw)

2012

Abstract

ABSTRACT The evaluation of the water volume and the formative time scale needed to carve the outflow channels repre- sents a fundamental process for the validation of their evolutive models. We calculate these attributes for the Aram channels and we compared the results with the volume of liquid water that was produced in a single chaotization event of the Aram Chaos. The analysis suggests that a single rapid and catastrophic event is sufficient to carve the channel and the volume of flood is compatible with the volume of liquid water release in a single chaotization event of the Aram Chaos.
