Scientific paper

Volcanic resurfacing has been important in Martian history. Major common-age resurfacing events are recorded in the cumulative frequency curves for the highland/lowland transition zone in eastern Mars and elsewhere. Most obvious in all these regions is a major resurfacing at the early hesperian (EH) time of ridged plains (unit Hr) eruption in Lunae Planum and elsewhere. This event seems to have occurred with greater or lesser efficiency in nearly all terrains studied: ridged plains, knobby terrain, smooth plains, and adjacent cratered terrain. Volcanic processes have apparently dominated all other sources of resurfacing (aeolian, periglacial, impact, fluvial) throughout all Martian history.
