List of montes

Mons (plural montes) is a word of Latin origin that designates a mountain. It is used in planetological nomenclature (including Martian) to describe a wide variety of formations, such as reliefs surrounding a large impact crater (e.g. Nereidum Montes
in the north of the Argyre), ridges (e.g. Geryon Montes in Valles Marineris) or simply an isolated peak, mostly of volcanic
origin (e.g. Olympus Mons).

The [names in grey and italics] in the tables are dropped or moved, referenced here because they may appear in older documents. Latitudes and longitudes in white are planetocentric. Those in orange use the older planetographic system.

List of paludes

Palus (plural paludes) is a Latin term synonymous with "swamp". It is used in the field of exogeology to designate geological formations similar to the oceans and seas of the Moon, but of smaller size. The term is used to designate structures present on the surface of Mars and Pluto.

Latitudes and longitudes in white are planetocentric. Those in orange use the older planetographic system.

There are five paludes (singular palus) on Mars as described in the nomenclature (see table above) but there are also three other areas named "palus" on Mars. They are all albedo formations.

List of planitiae

In planetary geology, a planitia (plural planitiae) is a low plain or a large area without relief. This type of formation is therefore opposed to the high plateaus or elevated plains, of the planum type. The word is borrowed from Latin ("flat surface, plain, flat country"). Some planitiae are impact basins. It is in particular the case of Isidis Planitia, in the east of Syrtis Major Planum.
