Geomorphology of Mars

Mars's geomorphology refers to its landforms and surface features shaped by ancient volcanic activity, flowing water, wind erosion, and impact cratering. Features include massive volcanoes like Olympus Mons, vast canyon systems such as Valles Marineris, dried-up riverbeds, and layered sediment deposits. These features reveal a history of geological processes that hint at past water presence and climate changes. Studying Mars’s surface helps scientists understand its geological evolution and assess its past potential for habitability.
