This downloadable (15 mb) atlas features photos of rocks, rock formations, and landscapes that have been shaped by aeolian (wind), fluvial (river), and other weathering processes. The photos are accompanied by descriptions of the features and discussion of the processes involved in creating them. There is also a discussion of the applicability of these same processes to explain similar features seen on Mars and Venus, and the use of high-resolution imagery from Mars to identify these features. A bibliography is included.
