Landslide on Mars

False colour image of a recent landslide in Zunil crater, Mars. It was most likely triggered by a Marsquake or a small impact event.

Reason: The HiRISE team have done it again - stunning clarity, high encyclopedic value and somewhat less confusing than the last one.

I don't think it's really useful or appropriate for the Landslide article. — BRIAN0918 • 2007-06-05 13:51Z
- Support I agree. However, it is rather appropriate for Geology of Mars. Jellocube27 15:29, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
question what does the false coloring indicate? Is the blue or the brown the slid area? Debivort 20:24, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's both: in this case the brown stuff appears to be surface material and the blue stuff would be a layer underneath it. Then again, I'm not a geologist. MER-C 08:10, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support Looks good. - Chris H 01:23, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support It's not that impressive of a pic...but it's not of this world, so I'll cut it some slack. The caption should also include some info about what the colors represent. Encyclopedic pic. Jumping cheese ^Cont@ct 08:17, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support It's a clear picture, especially as far as Mars goes. Cheers, Corvus coronoides 21:26, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
