The following is a list of regions on Mars given the name Terra (pl. Terrae ). Most cover large, rugged areas, often including outflow channels , cratering, and "chaos terrain ". They may be contrasted with the Planitia (e.g., Amazonis Planitia ) and Mare (e.g., Mare Erythraeum ), smoother regions of differing albedo .

Interactive Mars map [ ]
Interactive image map of the
global topography of Mars . Hover
your mouse over the image to see the names of over 60 prominent geographic features, and click to link to them. Coloring of the base map indicates relative
elevations , based on data from the
Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter on NASA's
Mars Global Surveyor . Whites and browns indicate the highest elevations (
+12 to +8 km); followed by pinks and reds (
+8 to +3 km); yellow is
0 km; greens and blues are lower elevations (down to
−8 km).
Axes are
latitude and
longitude ;
Polar regions are noted.
