Explanation:
Naming of astronomical features is controlled by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). For features on other planets and satellites the IAU has assigned this to a working group led by US Geological Service. Valles referes to valleys on Mars and Marineres is in honor of the Mariner 9 spacecraft team. A little additional information is avaiable from the link to the USGS website I provided.

Valles Marineris (Providing more references)


Explanation:
Valles Marineris est un vaste système de canyons longeant l'équateur martien à l'est de la région de Tharsis. Valles Marineris mesure 4000 km de long, 700 km de large et atteint des profondeurs de 7 km.

Le canyon s'étend de la région de Noctis Labyrinthus à l'ouest jusqu'aux terrains chaotiques à l'est.

La plupart des chercheurs s'accordent pour dire que Valles Marineris est une énorme fissure tectonique dans la croûte martienne qui s'est formée lors du refroidissement de la planète et a par la suite été remodelée par l'érosion.

Valles Marineris doit son nom à la sonde Mariner 9.
