Earth and Mars

Mars is about half the size of Earth and lacks oceans, but on the Martian surface are features analogous to those on Earth: polar caps, volcanoes, canyons, impact craters, dunes, drainage channels, clouds, dust storms. Please note that features shown in this sequence are analogues in morphology but not necessarily in size or mode of formation.
