Comparative frequency distributions of aluminum, magnesium, titanium, iron, and thorium concentrations from orbital geochemical data show a chemical dichotomy between the lunar nearside and farside terra surfaces. Nearside terra rock types (indicated by modes in the histograms) are more mafic and less aluminous than those on the farside. To explore this chemical asymmetry, terra regions exhibiting either anomalously high or low Mg/Al concentration ratios were examined.
