Mars: The Red Planet
... In 1971 a space probe discovered a fault system running through the middle of Mars. This fault system was named the Valles Marineris canyon and is much larger than the Grand Canyon in Arizona. In fact, Valles Marineris is larger than any canyon on Earth! Valles Marineris is approximately 4,000 kilom ...
