There;s a drain
YES, like earth.
Ah, well that explains it. It all seems so sedimentary now.
I’m with you. We were promised flying cars by somebody, and I’m putting my foot down. No moon base or Mars colony until we’ve at least got some flying scooters in production. After that, we can talk about the robot butlers.

I think we are on to something here. lol
Environmental conditions are very different on Mars. Without much of an atmosphere, micro-meteorites can more easily make it to the surface and help erode rocks. Without a global magnetic field, more cosmic rays can get through as well to slowly chip away at the surface. Also, wind erosion. Winds are very strong on Mars, particularly during certain seasons. On Earth, glaciers can also toss and turn large rocks, rounding them in the process. However, I agree with you, the rounded pebbles here were more than likely the result of stream bed erosion.
Thanks GeronL. The water's still there, these floods are very short-lived events stemming from impact (IMHO).
