I really should change that figure. The lighter rock that makes up home plate may be softer than the strata below. But it doesn't really matter. I've seen softer layers perched as "inverted topography" on this planet.

The mini-plate that is just south of home plate could be seen as a continuation of the strata but cut off by erosion.
