"Maria bulges", What are these buried structures? Mega mantle plumes? Martian analogs? Options

[Antdoghalo]

Of note when one looks at Mercury's topography, is the northern and southern plains. Within the northern plains is a large rise a thousand kilometers across.
I was working on making a map of the moon and I noticed between Aristarchus and Copernicus, there is a similar sized topographic bulge.
Both features aside from later impact craters and the remaining rim of Imbrium have maria lava plains seemingly "bubbling" up in elevation here.
I could not help but wonder if Alba Mons, Syrtis Major, and southern Hellas are Martian equivalent later evolutionary stage versions of these giant lava plains "bubbles" or super plumes of sorts that were able to form because Mars maintained heat longer.

Any thoughts on these possibly being common features between the 3 planetary bodies?

Hi. I certainly think the Moon and Mercury examples are similar. There is a second one on the Moon in the north part of Mare Tranquillitatis. For Mars, Alba Mons might be similar, and Elysium and Tharsis might be more developed versions of the same thing with large volcanoes on top of them.

Mercury-- related to isostacy of Caloris?
Moon-- related to Earth tidal bulge?
Mars-- upwelling plume?

[Phil Stooke]

No, no and yes, in my opinion.

Caloris and the NPR are 75 degrees apart on a globe. Far from antipodal.
