The Ravi Vallis outflow channel is {{convert|205.5|km|mi|abbr=on}} long, and starts at the northeastern end of the Aromatum Chaos depression. The channel is orientated in an easterly direction, and further down channel, Ravi Vallis divides into two; a larger northern channel, and a smaller southern channel, and is finally truncated by a fault which is located at the western margin of the Hydraotes Chaos depression. Ravi Vallis was named after the Ravi River, an ancient Indian river.[1][2][3][4][5] The Ravi Vallis outflow channel and neighboring deep depression at Aromatum Chaos, are thought to have been caused by volcano-ice interactions underneath the surface, which pierced an underground aquifer. This released large amounts of water, causing a catastrophic flood event, with an estimated speed of between 10 and 25 m s−1. The discharge rates from the Ravi Vallis outflow channel are thought to have ranged from a maximum of ∼30 × 106 m3 s−1 after the beginning of the flood event, to below 10 × 106 m3 s−1 in its later stages. The flood event is thought to have lasted between 2 and 10 weeks, with an estimated minimum total water volume of somewhere in the range of 11,000 to 65,000 km3.[1][2] Intermittent volcanism and related flood events like that which occurred at Ravi Vallis, are known to have occurred in other regions of Mars, such as at Kasei Valles,[6] and Mangala Valles.[7][8] {{clear}}Gallery{{multiple image |perrow=2 |caption_align=center |header=Ravi Vallis (USGS maps) |align=center |width= |direction=horizontal|image1=USGS-Mars-MC-19-MargartiferSinusRegion-mola.png |caption1=Context |width1=250 |image2=USGS-Mars-MC-19-MargartiferSinusRegion-mola-crop.png |caption2=Closer |width2=218 |image3=USGS-Mars-MC-19-MargartiferSinusRegion-mola-crop2.png |caption3= |width3=475 |footer= }}{{clear}} See also{{commons category|Ravi Vallis}}{{div col|colwidth=30em}}
