��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.
