| Popis: | Slope streaks are gravity-driven landforms that occur throughout the martian year in dust-rich equatorial regions on Mars. The distinctive streaks predominantly originate from point sources showing no indication for a specific trigger mechanism. Rare observations revealed dust devil-related triggering of multiple slope streaks and thus indicate a dry triggering process. |
