 The high level of tectonic activity associated with this fracturing and the formation of the nearby south polar terrain may have also led to mass wasting along the crater's wall, leading to a 3 kilometer wide landslide deposit in the center of Otbah.Otbah is named after one of the main characters in the tale "Otbah and Rayya" from "The Book of One Thousand and One Nights".A crater named after the other main character, Rayya, is nearby.
