The mineral diversity of Mars is inferior to Earth
Scientists from the Carnegie Institution in Washington have found that Mars is much poorer than Earth in terms of the number and types of minerals. Only 161 minerals have been found on the red planet for more than 50 years of research, while about 6 thousand are known on our planet. The results of the study were published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets (JGR: Planets).
