摘要
Topographic data obtained by radar ranging along the +21°.5 parallel of Mars have been correlated with surface detail. The data show that the high areas are deserts, the canals occur in broad and frequently deep valleys, and the maria occur in low areas or on slopes. The data confirm the concept that frost is deposited predominately in the high areas and add support to the concept that the dark areas are biological in nature. © 1969.
