Scientific paper

Mars 5, 1974, data for the southern equatorial region extending from 140 degrees western to 140 degrees eastern longitude are analyzed. The thermal inertia coefficient of the soil in the region between 60 and 120 degrees is determined and is found to increase in the regions Pyrrhae Regio and Meridiani Sinus. Two interpretation approaches, one based on the variation of regolith particles dimensions and the other on the difference in the number of rock fragments at the surface of different regions of the planet are examined.
