Located along the left central edge of the image is a cluster of volcanic domes that ranges from 1.5 km (1 mi) to 7.5 km in diameter (5 mi). The domes and their deposits are located at the convergence of radar-bright lineaments that are interpreted to be faults and troughs. In some places the domes overlie the faults. The faults and troughs extend into the lower parts of the image where they terminate against dark plains deposits and are crosscut at right angles by additional faults. The relationship between these features indicates that multiple episodes of faulting and volcanism have occurred.
