Could anyone help me to create an introductory on Mars (in a Physics point-of-view)?

Question

I have tried browsing on Wikipedia and many other astronomy websites but most of it would only give a rough idea of the geography and climate, and nothing about the physics of it. Could any of you help me with it?

Answer 1

I'd bet that what you're looking for isn't so much physics as geology. Most of what is known of Martian geology has been learned since the Viking missions. Things like, it's pretty dry. There is a single volcanic mountain range, probably from a plume, like the one that created the Hawian islands, only it didn't move much. The constant cratering. The big valley, which was likely formed by techtonic forces, rather than by flowing water.  Also, the Northern lowlands might have been formed by a big impact, and then harbored an ocean of water for awhile, and the Southern highlands stayed rather dry.

There are some good books on this.  The tend to read like text books.  But that's probably because they're textbooks.

Answer 2

The gravitational field strength on Mars is 3.69 ms-2. The planet also has a very thin atmosphere composed mostly of the tiny amount of remaining carbon dioxide (95.3%), nitrogen (2.7%), argon (1.6%) and traces of oxygen (0.15%) and water (0.03%). The average pressure on the surface of Mars ranges from 0.7 – 0.9 kPa and it varies greatly with altitude.  (I've a hunch that you need this in a Physics perspective because you're doing a report on kinematics on Mars?)
