  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW91866633 BCX8"&gt;Two principal physiographic provinces of Mars are &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW91866633 BCX8"&gt;represented&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW91866633 BCX8"&gt; in the Aeolis quadrangle: (1) Elysium Plan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW91866633 BCX8"&gt;itia in the north is part of a broad planet-encircling belt of relatively young lowland plains, and (2) cratered highlands in the south consist&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW91866633 BCX8"&gt; of roughly primitive terrain that extends to polar deposits around the southern ice cap (Condit and Soderblom, 1978: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW91866633 BCX8"&gt;Scott and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW91866633 BCX8"&gt;Carr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW91866633 BCX8"&gt;, 1978). These two terrains are &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW91866633 BCX8"&gt;separated&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW91866633 BCX8"&gt; by an irregular discont&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW91866633 BCX8"&gt;inuous northwest-trending scarp that becomes less conspicuous and more segmented toward the east &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW91866633 BCX8"&gt;part&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW91866633 BCX8"&gt; of the ma&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW91866633 BCX8"&gt;p&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW91866633 BCX8"&gt; area. Two large channels &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW91866633 BCX8"&gt;transect the highlands; they widen northward downslope and have other features cha&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW91866633 BCX8"&gt;racteristic of terrestrial &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="ContextualSpellingAndGrammarError SCXW91866633 BCX8"&gt;river beds&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW91866633 BCX8"&gt;. However, now fans or deltaic forms are &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW91866633 BCX8"&gt;visible&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW91866633 BCX8"&gt; at their mouths and their floors merge with the plains. One large &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="NormalTextRun SCXW91866633 BCX8"&gt;shield volcano, Apollinaris Patera, projects above the plains adjacent to the highlands in the northeast part of the quadrangle. More than 4 km of relief occur across the region from the high plateau in the south and west, downslope northward to plains.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
