| 内容記述 | Chryse Planitia, the site of the first successful landing on Mars by Viking 1, is an asymmetrical basin, centered at 45 deg W and 24 deg N, about 2000 km northeast of Valles Marineris. High-resolution Viking orbiter images show Chryse Planitia to be much more complex than had been suspected from Mariner 9 images. On the basis of a study of the Viking pictures it is concluded that the geological history of Chryse Planitia involves a complex sequence of impact cratering, mantling by extensive deposits of unknown origin, redistribution of mantling and crater materials by erosion and deposition with concurrent eruptions of flood-type basalts, and aeolian activity. |
