“While layered terrain is common in Martian canyons, it is not currently known what processes are behind their formation”
This phenomenon is explained by the occurrence of electrical /plasma based storms. The explanation is available here:

Nah, mate. That there is refrigerator mold. I’ve had it myself.
All the features on Mars are totally applicable to a planet that once had oceans and rivers and vulcanism. The geology is most obvious to see.
Our earth is larger with a molten iron core. Mars once had this. It no longer has such due to its smaller size. A molten iron core gives a planet a electromagnetic shield as we have on earth. Once this shield is lost the solar winds strip the planet of its atmosphere over many millions of years and thus leave a dead dry planet.
Perhaps life once flourished on Mars or not. It is most worthy of scientific investigation but not by man at this time. When one considers the cost of payload to Mars that would support a manned flight and return it is insane. The cost of robotic missions is a fraction of this.
Man will walk on Mars one day. I am 71 years old. It will not happen before I am dead. I would rather hope I am wrong but the odds of I living to be 100 or more is rather small.
Podkayne’s hacienda is there. She ain’t gonna like this intrusion by NASA peeping toms. She won’t grok it at all.
