Holy Fissures... in Cerberus Fossae

The linearity of this Mars volcanic vent shown in this HiRISE image, with evidence of lava flow from the vent, suggests control by joined volcano-tectonic processes in Cerberus Fossae fissures.
The details of this vent gained by High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE), from University of Arizona, should provide insight into those volcano-tectonic processes along Cerberus Fossae fissures in two ways.

The nature of both the volcanic products along this fissure, and the geometries of the linear vent, will permit comparison with similar, non-volcanic fissures at Cerberus Fossae. And results from these comparisons will provide insight into the orientation of the underlying dike system that may have controlled the ascent of water to the surface in the Cerberus region.
Future topographic analysis with a second image to create a 3D picture will enable to measure the heights of the associated flows and better understand their volcanic history, said the UA HiRISE Team.
