The main factors shaping the surface of Mars today are wind erosion, impacts from meteorites, and seasonal changes in the polar ice caps. These processes continue to alter the landscape on Mars over long periods of time.

What is responsible for shaping mars surface?

At the early formation period, like Earth, collisions with debris from the solar system formation, as in asteroids and meteoroids caused the initial "shaping" or scarring of the surface. Mars was believed to have an atmosphere and water like Earth for a short period. I believe that period to have lasted only a billion years, during which the surface of Mars was smoothed a little before the atmospheric loss enabled meteor damage once again. Mars does have a very thin atmosphere. The effects of ongoing meteor and wind erosion will change the planet's appearance.
