"Mapping data from the Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) aboard the Mars Global Surveyor Spacecraft has revealed volcanic compositions of much of the Martian surface. TES has revealed basaltic materials which are restricted to the Martian southern highlands and andesites (which have a higher silicon content) that display the largest concentrations in the younger northern lowlands. This implies that a fundamental change in volcanism occured at some point in the Martian past. This is the first observation of widespread andesites on Mars and raises the question of how they occur."
