The projection is rectangular to show topography from pole to pole. Note the general similarity in elevation between the northern and southern hemispheres. The figure highlights the two other significant components of martian topography: the Tharsis province and the Hellas impact basin.

Given high-resolution maps of Mars, students will explore the Martian surface and identify, measure, and describe the major geological landforms. ... Valles Marineris is a rift valley formed when the Martian crust cooled. The entire valley is over 5000 km long (longer than the United States is wide).

Here is a rather large Martian topographical map from NASA. After examining this map, use the information ... You can find it at Mars Topography worksheet (PDF). Another suggestion: please read completely through the instructions in each section before making your measurements. That way you are less likely to flounder.

An Empirical Evaluation of Clustering Algorithms Applied to Martian Topography; Abstract; With Mars becoming the center of our spatial exploration, there is an increased need to obtain Martian topography images from orbiters to elucidate topographic features such as craters, plateaus and channels.

Titolo: Self-affine behavior of Martian topography at kilometer scale from Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter data ... The method of analysis is based on the assumption that topography can be described as a self-affine fractal: 30-km-long segments of MOLA altimetry profiles have thus been reduced to the topographic parameters...
