Scientific paper

The possible role of impact craters in controlling local Martian endogenic activity is reviewed. Martian impact craters exhibiting evidence for endogenic modification are considered, including the style of modification. In addition, the cooling history of a mafic body intruded beneath impact craters of different sizes which contain water-ice deposits are examined, and results are related to modified Martian craters. This analysis is extended to basin-sized structures, and evidence for impact basin control of major volcanic and tectonic provinces is considered.
