  Description:
    Abstract:
      Io, the innermost of the Galilean satellites of Jupiter, is
      one of the most
      geologically active bodies in the Solar System. It is
      dominated by volcanism and shows only minor surface
      modification by tectonic processes or erosion. Impact
      craters are not seen at the resolution of Voyager images,
      indicating the relative youth of the surface (Smith and
      others, 1979) and its rapid resurfacing by volcanic
      eruptions (Johnson and others, 1979). As reviewed by Nash
      and others (1986), most of our knowledge of Io is based on
      data obtained by Voyagers 1 and 2, which encountered Io in
      1979 and imaged about 35 percent of its surface (fig. 1).
      Other information was obtained by Pioneer 10, which flew
      past Jupiter in 1973, and from Earth-based observations and
      theoretical considerations (Matson and others, 1981; Pearl
      and Sinton, 1982; Goguen and Sinton, 1985; Lunine and
      Stevenson, 1985). The general geology of Io was described
      by Masursky and others (1979), Schaber (l980, l982) and
      Nash and others (1986). Volcanic aspects have been
      discussed by Carr and others (1979), Johnson and others
      (1984, 1988), McEwen and Soderblom (1983), McEwen and
      others (1985, 1989), and Carr (1986).
    Purpose:
    Supplemental_Information:
      Four areas of Io have been mapped geologically at larger
      scales: the Maasaw Paterzi area (lat 35° S. to 48° S., long
      335° to 350°) at 1:1,000,000 scale (Moore, 1987); the Ra
      Patera quadrangle (lat 5° N. to 20° S., long 290° to 340°)
      at 1:2,000,000 scale (Greeley and others, 1988); the Ruwa
      Patera quadrangle (lat 50° N. to 50° S., long 270° westward
      to about long 40°) at 1:5,000,000 scale (Schaber and
      others, 1989); and the Lerna (south polar) region (lat 45°
      S. to 90° S.) at 1:5,000,000 scale (Whitford-Stark and
      others, 1990). The present photogeologic mapping was
      completed by compilation and synthesis of these maps and of
      work in progress by C.A. Wood in the Colchis Regio
      quadrangle and by extension into unmapped areas.
