Tempe Terra Craters
Today's VIS image shows a portion of Tempe Terra, including two unnamed craters. The ejecta from the smaller crater appears to overlie several graben (linear depressions created by tectonic forces). This means the crater is younger than the graben. However, both craters are slightly oval, in alignment with the graben in the region. Tectonic features may have existed prior to the graben visible today, affecting the formation of the impact crater.
