The Northern hemisphere is way below the average elevation for the planet. Also, it seems a lot smoother than that pockmarked southern hemisphere. The North pole of Mars also sits on top of a dome that's almost 3 kilometers above the surrounding area.

When I look at that picture I imagine the tremendous currents blasting away and smoothing the northern hemisphere, while raising this mound and twisting it like dough.

These are where the huge currents traveled the surface, finding the shortest distance possible to wherever they went. They effectively turned the dirt and sand to glass.

Can you see the resemblance between the experiment and the massive "volcanoe's" cauldera?
Craters from the cauldera are centered on each other:

This is from the arc moving from the lowest elevation (the center) to the highest (the crater rim) and starting a new crater there.
These are touted as collapsed lava tubes by NASA and astronomers, but come on:

You can see these were awesome electric tornadoes burning away the surface material, with a whole bunch of lightning blasts mixed in.
The odd pit and gouge here and there on the planet, a problem for geologists and astronomers to explain, but they're everywhere: http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e397/Bigpappadiaz/050411scoops.jpg

Finally, I'll leave you with these pictures of sunspot filaments. You can see they're solar tornadoes carrying that electric energy.

Accept these facts and you'll already be one step ahead of the scientists.

Oh yeah, on that last picture those are the sunspots on the left, and a demonstration of glowing hot gas on the right.
