Abstract: | The analysis of the martian relief leads to the conclusion that some of the most important relief elements are either concentrically or radially arranged with respect to a central structure and hence form aureoles. In this paper four different types of aureoles are identified and described: - impact aureoles (as result of extradynamics),
- volcanic aureoeles (as result of lava flow through vents),
- tectonic aureoles (as result of isostatic adjustment and/or settlement),
- permafrost-related aureoles and mega-aureoles (as result of migration above thawing permafrost in areas with high relief).
The spatial distribution of these different types of aureoles indicates the predominant type of relief-forming dynamics in the area of their distribution (impact-related aureoles occur predominantly in the area of the Southern Uplands; volcanic, tectonic and permafrost-related aureoles in the area of large-scale updomings-TaNoVa, Elysiumand their volcanic provinces). |
