Opposite Hellas, the largest impact basin on Mars, are the Tharsis volcanoes, the largest volcanoes in the solar system. Directly opposite the center of Hellas impact basin is the volcano called Alba Patera. Alba Patera is the largest Martian volcano by surface area. Coming off of the Tharsis plateau is Valles Marineris, the largest known valley in the solar system. The unlikely geographic relationship between these gigantic features suggests a cause and effect relationship between them. This implies a global Martian catastrophe comparable in scale to the Genesis Flood. The twin rovers, Opportunity and Spirit, have provided evidence in support of a Martian geological catastrophe. Data sent from Opportunity (and from orbit) show that it landed in an area that was catastrophically flooded from the south forming a large splat zone in the north. Current data provide an excellent starting point for a young Mars catastrophic geologic model allowing the formation of a core young Mars model.
