Mars topography (MOLA dataset) HiRes (1).jpg

Some Resources on Mars have been mapped using the gamma ray spectrometer instrument of Mars Odyssey[1].

Using the radiation signatures of elements with radioactive isotopes, maps of surface abundance of Thorium, Chlorine, Iron, Silicon, Potassium have been made.

Hydrogen abundance %mass


Thorium abundance in ppm (parts per million)
Chlorine abundance. % weight
Iron abundance %weight
Silicon abundance %weight
Potassium abundance %weight
