原文:[url=] Outflow channels are probably relicsof catastrophic flooding on Mars long ago. ■They appear only in equatorialregions and generally do not form extensive interconnected networks. ■Instead,they are probably the paths taken by huge volumes of water draining from thesouthern highlands into the northern plains. ■The onrushing water arising fromthese flash floods likely also formed the odd teardrop-shaped “islands”(resembling the miniature versions seen in the wet sand ofour beaches at low tide) that have been found on the plains close to the endsof the outflow channels. ■Judging from the width and depth of the channels, theflow rates must have been truly enormous―perhaps as much as a hundred timesgreater than the 105 tons per second carried by the great Amazon river. Flooding shaped the outflow channelsapproximately 3 billion years ago, about the same times as the northern volcanicplains formed. [/url]
题目:[url=]6. According toparagraph 2, all of the following are true of the outflow channels on MarsEXCEPT:[/url]○They formed ataround the same time that volcanic activity was occurring on the northernplains. ○They are foundonly on certain parts of the Martian surface. ○They sometimesempty onto what appear to have once been the wet sands of tidal beaches. ○They arethought to have carried water northward from the equatorial regions.
