- The general geographic description of Mars: Mars Aereography.
- The general geological description of Mars: Mars Aereology.
Mars is roughly divided into two types of areas: The older Southern hemisphere, heavily cratered and at a relatively high altitude and the younger northern hemisphere, with a few significant asteroid impact and large plains.
Mars is also marked by two significant geological features, The Tarsis bulge, with a large number of volcanoes including the famous Olympus Mons, and the Valles Marineris canyon(s).
