The fractures in the center of this VIS image are part
of Cerberus Fossae. These fractures formed in response to
streching of the martian crust due to magma movement related
to the formation of the Elysium Volcanic field, located
to the northwest. Note how the fractures cut through the
pre-existing hills indicating the fracture is younger than the hills.
