Scientific paper

A geologic map of Mars has been constructed largely on the basis of photographic evidence. Four classes of units are recognized: (1) primitive cratered terrain; (2) sparsely cratered volcanic eolian plains; (3) circular radially symmetric volcanic constructs such as shield volcanoes, domes, and craters; and (4) tectonic erosional units such as chaotic and channel deposits. Grabens are the main structural features; compressional and strike slip features are almost completely absent. Most grabens are part of a set radial to the main volcanic area, Tharsis.
