Scientific paper

The use of 1205 altitudes, obtained from 'Mariner-9' stereopairs made it possible to compile a hypsometric map of Mars (scale 1:16,000,000) with isolines through 1 km and for some areas through 200 meters. The relief of Mars appeared to be very flat with the exception of a small territory including the graben Coprates (depth: 6-8 km; length: 3200-3300 km) and shield volcano Nix Olympica (absolute height mark above 27 km). The analysis of hypsometric and frequency curves has shown that midaltitude relief, despite its apparent inexpressiveness, incorporates complex tectonic information.
