The tsunamis were caused by asteroids striking the ocean. Both were thought to have been strong enough to create 30&#160;km diameter craters. The first tsunami picked up and carried boulders the size of cars or small houses. The backwash from the wave formed channels by rearranging the boulders. The second came in when the ocean was 300&#160;m lower. The second carried a great deal of ice which was dropped in valleys. Calculations show that the average height of the waves would have been 50&#160;m, but the heights would vary from 10&#160;m to 120&#160;m. Numerical simulations show that in this particular part of the ocean two impact craters of the size of 30&#160;km in diameter would form every 30 million years. The implication here is that a great northern ocean may have existed for millions of years. One argument against an ocean has been the lack of shoreline features. These features may have been washed away by these tsunami events.

The crater is 35 kilometres (22&#160;mi) wide and about 2 kilometres (1.2&#160;mi) deep. The height difference between the crater floor and the surface of the water ice is about 200 metres (660&#160;ft). ESA scientists have attributed most of this height difference to sand dunes beneath the water ice, which are partially visible.

Many of these putative patches of ice are concentrated in the Martian mid-latitudes (≈30–60° N/S of the equator). For example, many scientists think that the widespread features in those latitude bands variously described as "latitude dependent mantle" or "pasted-on terrain" consist of dust- or debris-covered ice patches, which are slowly degrading.<sup id="cite_ref-Carr_144-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Carr-144"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>144<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> A cover of debris is required both to explain the dull surfaces seen in the images that do not reflect like ice, and also to allow the patches to exist for an extended period of time without subliming away completely.
