outflow channels are channels which were created during enormous flash floods on mars. after the time of free flowing water, when run off channels were formed, the climate on mars became very cold and much of the water was frozen into ice caps. about one billion years after this volcanoes became active on the planet and melted much of the ice caps into water, this caused huge flash floods. when the volcanism ended, the water refroze into the conditions it is in today.
