The resurfacing history of Mars - A synthesis of digitized, viking-based geology

摘要: A global geologic map series of Mars was digitized at high resolution (1.846 sq km/pixel). It found that the surface is predominantly volcanic. resurfacing history constructed by estimating total extent units. Eolian prevalent during Late Amazonian Epoch, affecting 4.9 x 10 to 6th km. rates vary according absolute-age scheme used and generally decrease with time. Resurfacing were approximately 1000 km/yr Middle Noachian one hundred several Hesperian Epochs, tens or less Period.
