The Amenthes quadrangle includes two main physiographic and geologic subdivisions. In the southern part of the quadrangle, densely cratered plateaus rise about 3 km above sparsely to moderately cratered plains. The low plains that form Elysium Planitia also build the eastern flank of the Isidis basin, which mostly lies within the adjacent Sytris Major quadrangle to the west; the Elysium region, one of the main volcanic units in the Amenthes quadrangle are related to this volcanic and uplifted zone. Geologic mapping is based mainly on morphological criteria together with some albedo, superposition, and crater-density data from both high- and low-resolution Mariner 9 images. Interpretations of rock units were made...
