About this document

Mars Crustal Evolution and Thermal History by ricitron is a document available to read on EtoBox.

1) The thermal and crustal evolution of Mars was reinvestigated taking into account new data on iron-rich olivine viscosity and heat-producing element concentrations in the martian crust. 2) Models that allowed for crustal recycling were found to be incompatible with early separation of geochemical reservoirs on Mars. Admissible models were required to reproduce crust formation history and present-day mantle melting conditions. 3) Models with initially wet mantle rheology, low initial upper mantle tempe
