The history of these observations are marked by the <a href="/wiki/Opposition_(astronomy)" title="Opposition (astronomy)">oppositions</a> of Mars, when the planet is closest to Earth and hence is most easily visible, which occur every couple of years. Even more notable are the <a href="/wiki/Perihelic_opposition" class="mw-redirect" title="Perihelic opposition">perihelic oppositions</a> of Mars which occur approximately every 16 years, and are distinguished because Mars is closest to earth and Jupiter <a href="/wiki/Apsis" title="Apsis">perihelion</a> making it even closer to Earth. </p><p>In September 1877, (a perihelic opposition of Mars occurred on September 5), <a href="/wiki/Italy" title="Italy">Italian</a> astronomer <a href="/wiki/Giovanni_Schiaparelli" title="Giovanni Schiaparelli">Giovanni Schiaparelli</a> published the first detailed map of <a href="/wiki/Mars" title="Mars">Mars</a>.

These <i>canali</i> were supposedly long straight lines on the surface of Mars to which he gave names of famous rivers on Earth. His term was popularly mistranslated as <i>canals</i>, and so started the <a href="/wiki/Martian_canal" class="mw-redirect" title="Martian canal">Martian canal</a> controversy. </p><p>Following these observations, it was a long-held belief that Mars contained vast seas and vegetation.

The other two-thirds of the Martian surface are the southern highlands. The difference in elevation between the hemispheres is dramatic. Because of the density of impact craters, scientists believe the southern hemisphere to be far older than the northern plains.<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Much of heavily cratered southern highlands date back to the period of heavy bombardment, the <a href="/wiki/Noachian" title="Noachian">Noachian</a>. </p><p>Multiple hypotheses have been proposed to explain the differences. The three most commonly accepted are a single mega-impact, multiple impacts, and endogenic processes such as mantle convection.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_19-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Both impact-related hypotheses involve processes that could have occurred before the end of the primordial bombardment, implying that the crustal dichotomy has its origins early in the history of Mars. </p><p>The giant impact hypothesis, originally proposed in the early 1980s, was met with skepticism due to the impact area's non-radial (elliptical) shape, where a circular pattern would be stronger support for impact by larger object(s). But a 2008 study<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> provided additional research that supports a single giant impact. Using geologic data, researchers found support for the single impact of a large object hitting Mars at approximately a 45-degree angle. Additional evidence analyzing Martian rock chemistry for post-impact upwelling of mantle material would further support the giant impact theory. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Nomenclature">Nomenclature</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Areography&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Nomenclature"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Early_nomenclature">Early nomenclature</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Areography&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Early nomenclature"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Although better remembered for mapping the <a href="/wiki/Moon" title="Moon">Moon</a> starting in 1830, <a href="/wiki/Johann_Heinrich_M%C3%A4dler" class="mw-redirect" title="Johann Heinrich Mädler">Johann Heinrich Mädler</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wilhelm_Beer" title="Wilhelm Beer">Wilhelm Beer</a> were the first "areographers". They started off by establishing once and for all that most of the surface features were permanent, and pinned down Mars's rotation period. In 1840, Mädler combined ten years of observations and drew the first map of Mars ever made. Rather than giving names to the various markings they mapped, Beer and Mädler simply designated them with letters; Meridian Bay (Sinus Meridiani) was thus feature "a". </p><p>Over the next twenty years or so, as instruments improved and the number of observers also increased, various Martian features acquired a hodge-podge of names. To give a couple of examples, <a href="/wiki/Solis_Lacus" title="Solis Lacus">Solis Lacus</a> was known as the "Oculus" (the Eye), and Syrtis Major was usually known as the "Hourglass Sea" or the "Scorpion". In 1858, it was also dubbed the "Atlantic Canale" by the Jesuit astronomer <a href="/wiki/Angelo_Secchi" title="Angelo Secchi">Angelo Secchi</a>. Secchi commented that it "seems to play the role of the Atlantic which, on Earth, separates the Old Continent from the New;" this was the first time the fateful <i>canale</i>, which in Italian can mean either "channel" or "canal", had been applied to Mars. </p><p>In 1867, <a href="/wiki/Richard_Anthony_Proctor" class="mw-redirect" title="Richard Anthony Proctor">Richard Anthony Proctor</a> drew up a map of Mars. It was based, somewhat crudely, on the Rev. <a href="/wiki/William_Rutter_Dawes" title="William Rutter Dawes">William Rutter Dawes</a>' earlier drawings of 1865, then the best ones available. Proctor explained his system of nomenclature by saying, "I have applied to the different features the names of those observers who have studied the physical peculiarities presented by Mars." Here are some of his names, paired with those later used by <a href="/wiki/Giovanni_Schiaparelli" title="Giovanni Schiaparelli">Schiaparelli</a> in his Martian map created between 1877 and 1886.<sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Schiaparelli's names were generally adopted and are the names actually used today: </p> <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th>Proctor nomenclature</th> <th>Schiaparelli nomenclature </th></tr> <tr> <td>Kaiser Sea</td> <td>Syrtis Major </td></tr> <tr> <td>Lockyer Land</td> <td><a href="/wiki/Hellas_Planitia" title="Hellas Planitia">Hellas Planitia</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>Main Sea</td> <td><a href="/wiki/Lacus_Moeris" class="mw-redirect" title="Lacus Moeris">Lacus Moeris</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>Herschel II Strait</td> <td><a href="/wiki/Sinus_Sabaeus" class="mw-redirect" title="Sinus Sabaeus">Sinus Sabaeus</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>Dawes Continent</td> <td><a href="/w/index.php?title=Aeria_and_Arabia&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Aeria and Arabia (page does not exist)">Aeria and Arabia</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>De La Rue Ocean</td> <td><a href="/wiki/Mare_Erythraeum" title="Mare Erythraeum">Mare Erythraeum</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>Lockyer Sea</td> <td><a href="/wiki/Solis_Lacus" title="Solis Lacus">Solis Lacus</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>Dawes Sea</td> <td><a href="/w/index.php?title=Tithonius_Lacus&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Tithonius Lacus (page does not exist)">Tithonius Lacus</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>Madler Continent</td> <td><a href="/wiki/Chryse_Planitia" title="Chryse Planitia">Chryse Planitia</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ophir_Chasma" title="Ophir Chasma">Ophir</a>, <a href="/wiki/Tharsis" title="Tharsis">Tharsis</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>Maraldi Sea</td> <td><a href="/w/index.php?title=Maria_Sirenum&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Maria Sirenum (page does not exist)">Maria Sirenum</a> and <a href="/w/index.php?title=Cimmerium&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Cimmerium (page does not exist)">Cimmerium</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>Secchi Continent</td> <td><a href="/wiki/Memnonia_(Mars)" class="mw-redirect" title="Memnonia (Mars)">Memnonia</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>Hooke Sea</td> <td><a href="/w/index.php?title=Mare_Tyrrhenum&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Mare Tyrrhenum (page does not exist)">Mare Tyrrhenum</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>Cassini Land</td> <td><a href="/wiki/Ausonia_Montes" title="Ausonia Montes">Ausonia</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>Herschel I Continent</td> <td><a href="/wiki/Classical_albedo_features_on_Mars#T-Z" title="Classical albedo features on Mars">Zephyria</a>, <a href="/wiki/Aeolis_quadrangle" title="Aeolis quadrangle">Aeolis</a>, <a href="/wiki/Classical_albedo_features_on_Mars#A" title="Classical albedo features on Mars">Aethiopis</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>Hind Land</td> <td><a href="/wiki/Libya_Montes" title="Libya Montes">Libya</a> </td></tr></tbody></table> <p>Proctor's nomenclature has often been criticized, mainly because so many of his names honored English astronomers, but also because he used many names more than once.
