Areographical

/ˌæriːoʊɡræˈfɪkəl/ adjective

Definition

Of or pertaining to the scientific description and mapping of Mars.

Etymology

From 'areographic' plus the suffix '-al', forming an alternative (and more formal) adjectival form used in technical and academic contexts.

Kelly Says

Both 'areographic' and 'areographical' mean the same thing, but 'areographical' sounds more like something from a 19th-century scientific journal—it's the older, more formal version.
