In these meteorites, called SNCs, many important elements have been detected.
Magnesium, Aluminium, Titanium, Iron, and Chromium are relatively common in
them. In addition, lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, niobium, molybdenum,
lanthanum, europium, tungsten, and gold have been found in trace amounts.

The dust that covers the surface of Mars is fine like talcum powder. Beneath the layer of
dust, the Martian crust consists mostly of volcanic basalt rock. The soil of Mars also
holds nutrients such as sodium, potassium, chloride and magnesium. The crust is
between 6 and 30 miles (10 and 50 kilometers) thick, according to NASA.

The center of Mars likely has a solid core composed of iron, nickel and sulfur. It is
estimated to be between 930 and 1,300 miles (1,500 and 2,100 km) in diameter. The
core does not move, and therefore Mars lacks a planet-wide magnetic field. Instead, it
has sporadic field lines that scientists have nicknamed "Christmas Lights." Without a
global magnetic field, radiation bombards the planet making it relatively inhospitable
compared to Earth. [Infographic: Inside Planet Mars]

Based on these data sources, scientists think that the most abundant chemical
elements in the Martian crust, besides silicon and oxygen, are iron, magnesium,
aluminum, calcium, and potassium. These elements are major components of the
minerals comprising igneous rocks.
