Brad Rosenheim<p>Imbrication: overlapping of sediment layers, fish scales, roof tiles, etc.</p><p>After our intense afternoon thunderstorms here in Florida, the streets abound with evidence of the deluge. Even in a land as flat as a pancake, leaves serve as the sediment imbricated by the intense rain. They have a surface area to mass ratio that is likely higher than even most clay particles, and thus they can behave this way even with relatively low slope and flow velocity. Imbrication happens in unidirectional currents and the grains organize with their upstream end higher than their downstream edge. So, in the geologic record they show us direction of ancient flows. Although formed by different processes, ripples in actual sediment can also show us direction and magnitude of ancient unidirectional flows. </p><p>All pictures taken from an alley in my neighborhood after a dousing thunderstorm.</p><p><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imbrication_(sedimentology)" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imbric</span><span class="invisible">ation_(sedimentology)</span></a></p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/geology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>geology</span></a><br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/sediment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sediment</span></a><br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/sedimentology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sedimentology</span></a><br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/paleoclimatology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>paleoclimatology</span></a></p>

But it's best to use caution about assumptions from Earth geology applying to Mars. Now with satellite imagery and rover-collected ground data, data supports that it is indeed a volcano. <a href="https://www.sciencealert.com/volcano-found-hiding-in-plain-sight-right-next-to-nasa-mars-rover" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">sciencealert.com/volcano-found</span><span class="invisible">-hiding-in-plain-sight-right-next-to-nasa-mars-rover</span></a> <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/NASA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NASA</span></a> <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/Mars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mars</span></a> <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/volcano" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>volcano</span></a> <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/geology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>geology</span></a></p>
