Table 2 Velocities in meters per second of the landslide front for the landslides examined in this study
From: Inferring the high velocity of landslides in Valles Marineris on Mars from morphological analysis
Point | Height reached on mound (m) | Distance reached on mound (m) | Front subaerial velocity (in parenthesis the one calculated based on the center of mass), m/s | Front subaerial velocity, no friction, m/s | Front subaqueous velocity, (in parenthesis the one calculated based on the center of mass), m/s |
