  1. Facies (Petrology 💎)

    In geology, a facies is a body of rock with distinctive characteristics. The characteristics can be any observable attribute of rocks and the changes that may occur in those attributes over a geographic area. A facies encompasses all the characteristics of a rock including its chemical, physical, and biological features that distinguish it from adjacent rock. The term "facies" was i...

    "HIGHLIGHTS:
    • [They] mapped channels and fossae within the volcanic plains east of Olympus Mons.
    • Late Amazonian channels east of Olympus Mons formed by eruptions of lava or water.
    • Fossae morphologies correspond to episodes of magmatic dike and sill emplacement.
    • Loading of Olympus Mons may control magmatic ascent processes and eruption types..."
