Active wind erosion
A piece of Mars: Bright rocks are being scoured and shaped by dark (bluish) sand. On Mars, active geologic activity is easy to identify: when there aren’t many craters visible, you’re probably looking at a surface that is undergoing change. This is a good example of such a surface. (HiRISE ESP_016000_1670)
