Actually, straight line and even right angles are not uncommon
in geology. Both are usually the result of faulting. In some
cases, lava has entered a set of cracks resulting from faulting,
and when erosion wears the matrix away, only the harder lava is
left behind, forming mysterious "walls" and other unusual
features.

As I have pointed out many times, including in my article in UFO
Magazine on "The Face" Martian geology is somewhat unusual, and
one cannot judge the "probability" or the "artificiality" of
features on the basis of intuition or even superficial knowledge
of terrestrial geology. The extensive presence of permafrost,
the absence of vegetation, the unusual volcanism, the differing
level of gravity, the ages within which wind has been able to
work on the terrain - all create highly unusual features by
terrestrial standards.
