Scientific paper

Data on the natural radioactivity of rocks of the moon, Venus, and Mars obtained with spaceborne instruments are collected and analyzed. The analysis indicates that on the surface of these bodies there are two principal types of provinces: an ancient crust (gabbroitic-anorthositic on the moon and, probably, Mars, granitic-metamorphic on the earth and, probably, Venus), and younger lava sheets of basaltic composition. It is noted that these similar surface structures on bodies of the solar system suggest that similar processes were at work in forming the crusts.
