Valles Marineris, situé le long de l'équateur de la planète
Mars
, est le plus grand canyon du système solaire. Sa formation n'est pas due à l'érosion comme la plupart des gorges et vallées terrestres, mais à des forces géologiques extensives (on parle de rift). Il mesure 4500 km de long, 200 km de large et 11 km de profondeur, soit dix fois la longueur, sept fois la largeur et sept fois la profondeur du
Grand Canyon
, en Arizona.
