Geological history of Mars
The geological history of Mars employs observations, indirect and direct measurements, and various inference techniques to estimate the physical evolution of Mars . Methods dating back to 17th century techniques developed by Nicholas Steno , including the so-called law of superposition and stratigraphy , used to estimate the geological histories of Earth and the Moon, are being actively applied to the data available from several Martian observational and measurement resources. These include the landers, orbiting platforms, Earth-based observations, and Martian meteorites.
