It is named after the River Ganges in South Asia. Ganges Chasma is thought to have formed through a series of catastrophic discharges of water and CO2 from chaos terrains such as that preserved in Ganges Chaos at its southern margin.[1] Most of the evidence for these discharges and the ensuing collapses is believed to have been washed away.[1] Prior to developing an outlet that joined it to Capri Chasma and the connected outflow channels to its east, Ganges Chasma may at some point in the Noachian period have contained a lake which drained northward through partially subsurface pathways into Shalbatana Vallis.[2] References1. ^1 {{cite journal|last1=Rodriguez|first1=J.
