Some large channels on Mars show features, notably bars and braiding, that indicate an origin by the action of running water. Smaller channels on steep slopes may have been produced by runoff of precipitation. Dendritic canyon systems suggest ground water sapping, which may have been an effective agent in cliff retreat generally. Extensive plains developed as cliffs retreated and, although modified by later wind action, may be regarded as relict landforms from a fluvial stage of Martian history.
