How can an observer tell that Mar's northern hemisphere surface is younger than its southern hemisphere surface without using radioisotope dating?

Without Radioisotope dating it is very difficult to determine the age of a surface exactly. One way to estimate the age of the surface is looking at the number of impact craters. Assuming meteorites hit at regular intervals, the surface with more impact craters is the oldest.
