Mommur Chasma is the largest ‘canyon’ on the known part of the surface of Uranus’ moon Oberon. This feature probably formed during crustal extension at the early stages of moon’s evolution when the interior of Oberon expanded and its ice crust cracked as a result. The canyon is an example of graben (rift valley) or scarp produced by normal fault(s).
