| Description | A survey of flow fields with areas greater than 50,000 sq km revealed fields with sheet-like morphology. These sheet flow fields are distinguished by their relatively uniform backscatter, lack of internal flow structure such as well defined lava streams or channels, absence of flow lobes, and irregular boundaries. Internal flow boundaries are essentially absent in these fields, and as such they cannot usually be divided into separate stratigraphic units or eruptive episodes. This is unlike other flow fields with more digitate morphologies, which are made up of discrete flow lobes, and can usually be divided into several episodes of flow emplacement. Five sheet flow fields were studied so far, and other candidates were found. A flow field associated with Lauma Dorsa is taken as an example and examined in detail. |
