Cerberus Fossae
The linear depression in today's VIS image is part of Cerberus Fossae. The feature is termed a graben and was formed by crustal extension that allowed material to subside between paired tectonic faults. The straight sides and uniform depths are indications that this is tectonic feature rather than a channel caused by fluid erosion.
