Answer:

A channel in an ancient Martian "riverbed" wasn't carved by liquid water but was built by molten lava, according to a new study of surface features on Mars.On Earth, lava tubes form during sustained volcanic eruptions, when lava flowing through previously solidified masses leaves behind empty channels in the rock
