Elemental composition of the Martian crust.
The composition of Mars' crust records the planet's integrated geologic history and provides clues to its differentiation. Spacecraft and meteorite data now provide a global view of the chemistry of the igneous crust that can be used to assess this history. Surface rocks on Mars are dominantly tholeiitic basalts formed by extensive partial melting and are not highly weathered. Siliceous or calc...
متن کاملthe effect of e-64 on the developmental competence of sheep cocs during in vitro maturation
in the present study, the effect of e-64 at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µm) added to (1) the ivm medium on oocyte nuclear maturation and developmental competence of ovine oocytes, and (2) to the ivc medium on embryonic development of ovine embryos were investigated.
Constraints on the composition and petrogenesis of the Martian crust
[1] Spectral interpretation that silicic rocks are widespread on Mars implies that Earth’s differentiated crust is not unique. Evaluation of observations bearing on the composition of the Martian crust (Martian meteorite petrology and a possible crustal assimilant, analysis of Mars Pathfinder rocks, composition of Martian fines, interpretation of spacecraft thermal emission spectra, and inferre...
متن کاملMartian Layered Fluvial Deposits: Implications for Noachian Climate Scenarios
[1] Fluvial deposits in a basin north of Holden crater exhibiting a sinuous, anabranching pattern are of deltaic or fan origin. Channel width and meander wavelength indicate persistent flow magnitudes of about 700 m/s. If these flows were produced by quasi-periodic climate episodes involving typical terrestrial-style precipitation, the deposit required thousands to millions of years to accumula...
متن کاملHydrothermal Alteration of the Martian Crust: an Experimental Approach
Introduction: On Mars, the geomorphology of numerous surface features has been attributed to the interaction of magmatic and impact heat sources with an H 2 O-rich Martian crust/megaregolith [1-3]. In addition , geochemical analyses of soil at the Pathfinder and Viking landing sites indicate high concentrations of SO 3 and Cl [4-6], consistent with interaction between a basaltic protolith and f...
