Previous images suggest tilted layers of rock in this area of Mars are uncommon, unlike on Earth, where plate tectonics and earthquakes cause tilting. There was another area of tilted rock in a similar ridgeline that both Ingenuity and Perseverance studied earlier in the mission, called Artuby in the South Séítah region. Now, the science team will have an opportunity to compare the two regions.
The team said comparing Ingenuity’s shots of the two angled ridgelines may help team scientists better understand the history of the crater floor and, possibly, the forces that were at play in this part of Jezero Crater billions of years ago.
