Hmm....that is interesting. In my amaturish opinion I would say that the southern hemispher of Mars is more of a mountainish region than the nothern hemisphere. But I have no idea.

Maybe it is "wet" sand...

I don't know, but I understand Mars is mostly iron oxide. Iron oxide (rust) goes through phase changes and occurs in many colors: black, blue, yellow, red, orange... You can see this on rusty iron, blue gun barrels, the artist's pigments Mars Yellow, Mars Black, Mars red and so on.
