Mars and the Moon, for example, tend towards flat plains and rounded hills. On the contrary, most of the dramatic landscapes, jagged mountains, and deep valleys on Earth are shaped in large part by the water cycle. Without an atmosphere, there's no water to carve canyons or form glaciers to sharpen the mountains. | |
