The Interior Lowland Plains Unit of Mars: Evidence for a Possible Mud Ocean and Induced Tectonic DeformationWe conclude from MOC and MOLA data that the northern plains of Mars were infilled by a sediment-rich, mud ocean. Evidence for subsidence within the north polar basin and reversed channel-floor gradients are consistent with tectonic deformation due to the sediment load.
