Description
Summary:Necessity of a comparative analysis of the available Mössbauer data on various types of soils on Earth and Mars is substantiated. The proposed techniques significantly expand methodical possibilities of the Mössbauer spectroscopy for an effective study of processes in the multicomponent natural objects. The Mössbauer data have been used for the first time to propose quantitative criteria for characterization of the formation of hydroxides in soils on Earth and Mars, as well as a parameter for estimating the differentiation of magnetic spherules into the extraterrestrial, technogenic, and endogenic types. The Mössbauer spectra show a satisfactory correlation with the genesis and transformation of the magnetically ordered minerals in natural systems of Earth and Mars.
