Geology of Mars
The geology of Mars is the scientific study of the surface, crust , and interior of the planet Mars . It emphasizes the composition, structure, history, and physical processes that shape the planet. It is analogous to the field of terrestrial geology . In planetary science , the term geology is used in its broadest sense to mean the study of the solid parts of planets and moons. The term incorporates aspects of geophysics , geochemistry , mineralogy , geodesy , and cartography . [2] A neologism , areology , from the Greek word Arēs (Mars), sometimes appears as a synonym for Mars's geology in the popular media and works of science fiction (e.g. Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars trilogy ).
