Surface Geology and Topography
The topography of Mars is distinctly divided into two hemispheres: the heavily cratered, ancient Southern Highlands, and the smoother, lower-elevation Northern Lowlands. This dichotomy, often referred to as the Martian dichotomy, is one of the planet's most profound unresolved geological puzzles, potentially related to a massive, oblique impact event during the planet's youth [3].
