Scientific paper

Remote sensing evidence for basalts on Mars is only suggestive. Spectral reflectance, IR spectroscopy, multispectral maps and X-ray fluorescence were used to study the minerals and rocks. Evidence for volcanic activity came from Viking Orbiter imagery and Viking Lander images. Compositional information came from: (1) earthbased spectral reflectance measurements of the martian surface and dust clouds; (2) XRF analyses of martian soils; (3) spectrophotometric measurements of soils and boulders at Viking landing sites; and (4) theoretical models of the chemistry and mineralogy of the mantle of Mars based on density measurements.
