Arandas Crater is a crater in the Mare Acidalium quadrangle of Mars, located 42.77° North and 15.17° West. It is named after the town of Arandas in Mexico. Gullies are visible in the pictures below. On the basis of their form, aspects and location amongst and apparent interaction with features thought to be rich in water ice, many researchers believed that the processes carving the gullies involve liquid water. However, this remains a topic of active research; as soon as gullies were discovered, researchers began to image many gullies over and over, looking for possible changes. By 2006, some changes were found. With further analysis it was determined that the changes could have occurred by dry granular flows rather than being driven by flowing water. With continued observations many more changes were found in others. With more repeated observations and more changes have been found. Before-and-after images demonstrated the timing of this activity coincided with seasonal carbon-dioxide frost and temperatures that would not have allowed for liquid water.
When dry ice frost changes to a gas, it may lubricate dry material to flow on steep slopes. In some years frost as thick as 1 meter. Impact craters have a rim with ejecta around them, in contrast volcanic craters do not have a rim or ejecta deposits; as craters get larger they have a central peak. The peak is caused by a rebound of the crater floor following the impact. Sometimes craters expose layers. Rocks from deep underground are tossed onto the surface. Hence, craters can show us.

Mount Everett at 2,608 ft - or 793.1 m - is the highest peak in the south Taconic Mountains of Massachusetts and New York. The mountain is known for its expansive views of the southern Berkshires; the mountain is named after a 19th-century governor of Edward Everett. The name was proposed in 1841 by Edward Hitchcock, geologist to the state, in his "Final Report on the Geology of Massachusetts." Hitchcock wrote that at the time of his proposal, the mountain was known as Bald Mountain or Ball Mountain. Some old maps at the Sheffield Historical Society label the mountain as "The Dome". Guilder Pond, a highland lake, is located in the cirque-like ravine between Mount Everett and Undine Mountain to the north. A seasonal auto road climbs to just short of the summit, though the road's upper reaches have been closed to motorized vehicles for many years; the summit and west side of Mount Everett is located in the town of Mount Washington. Much of the mountain is located within the Mount Everett State Reservation.
The east side of the mountain drains into Race Brook, thence into Schenob Brook, the Hubbard Brook, the Housatonic River, Long Island Sound. The west side drains into Guilder Brook and City Brook, thence into Bash Bish Brook, the Roeliff Jansen Kill, the Hudson River and New York Bay of the Atlantic Ocean. Massachusetts Trail Guide.
