==Why craters are important==
The density of impact craters is used to determine the surface ages of Mars and other solar system bodies.<ref>http://www.lpi.usra.edu/publications/slidesets/stones/</ref> The older the surface, the more craters present. Crater shapes can reveal the presence of ground ice.
