embay

The former partially embay the hummocky plains and are probably volcanic in origin.

Smooth plains also embay units of the Caloris Group.

The Galileo images also revealed small, dark, smooth areas with overall coverage less than 10,000 km, which appear to embay the surrounding terrain.

In some areas, the intercrater plains material appears to embay c1 craters, and it is found in all of the degraded basins described above.

The plains also embay the Caloris Formation and account in particular for the skeletal map pattern of the Van Eyck Formation.

The lava plains slope gently to the east where they overlap and embay the older (Hesperian-aged) terrain of Echus Chasma and western Tempe Terra.
