This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: a159 Mars Atmosphere (CJC), Martian Atmosphere redistributes Heat from Sun, Heat from Sun absorbed by and re-emitted by Surface, Surface PRESSURE of about 6 millibars leads to condensation at -125 deg C (~150K), COMPOSITION includes Nitrogen 2.7%, Outgassing from Interior resulted from High Temperature Accretion, COMPOSITION includes Traces of Oxygen, Carbon Monoxide, & Water Vapor, "Green- house" Gas absorbs some Heat Re- radiated by Surface, Heat from Sun drives General Circulation of Atmosphere, COMPOSITION includes Pattern of enrichment of heavier isotopes, Seasonal Polar Caps lead to Annual Cycle in Pressure, General Circulation of Atmosphere leads to Surface Erosion, CARBON DIOXIDE 95% leads to condensation at -125 deg C (~150K), -125 deg C (~150K) is temperature of Seasonal Polar Caps, Outgassing from Interior resulted from Early Internal Differentiation, Surface can reach TEMPERATURE of up to 20 deg C at midday, COMPOSITION includes CARBON DIOXIDE 95%, Surface can reach TEMPERATURE down to -125 deg C predawn, Heat from Sun varies with Latitude, Martian Atmosphere has Orange- Brown Color, COMPOSITION includes Argon 1.6%
