Vikings 1 and 2 became the first space probes to successfully land on the surface of Mars.

The surface mining of coal, refineries and shipping terminals, power plants and transmission lines all occupy land.

The total area of land required to sustain a city could be, typically, ten times or more than the land area of the city itself.

The majority of our functional brain is distributed over the outer surface layer of the brain, and to increase the area that's available for mental capacity, the brain surface is highly folded.

70 percent of the agricultural land on Earth, 30 percent of the Earth's land surface is directly or indirectly devoted to raising the animals we'll eat.

But if you were to put it on an equal area projection, you'd see that the mid ocean ridge covers 23 percent of the Earth's total surface area.

And we didn't want to take it propulsively all the way to the surface because we didn't want to contaminate the surface we wanted the Rover to immediately land on its legs.

Redwoods have an enormous surface area that extends upward into space because they have a propensity to do something called reiteration.

As a result of that contamination, three fourths of the island's surface area was currently unsuitable as a place to live.

Certain States face the likelihood of the disappearance of the whole or a significant part of their surface area for environmental reasons.

One State which will not disappear but which risks losing a significant proportion of its surface area for environmental reasons is Bangladesh.

The role of satellite data and GIS techniques in land use is exemplified by a study undertaken to establish optimum land use in the Irbid area by investigating the geomorphological, topographical, land cover and agricultural aspects of the area.

Although complex, that structure seemed suited to the country's vast land area.

Surface

We believe that the oceans were in the northern hemisphere, and this area in blue, which shows a depression of about four miles, was the ancient ocean area on the surface of Mars.

In fact, there have been very few logging operations in the area, the surface of the lands subject to logging amounting to approximately 1.2 per cent of the area administered by the Committee.

Actually, the lander will come down to about 100 feet and hover above that surface for 100 feet, and then we have a sky crane which will take that Rover and land it down on the surface.

Mars is half the size of the Earth, but because two thirds of the Earth is covered by water, the land area on Mars is comparable to the land area on Earth.

We have 11 and a half million root apex and a total length of 600 or more kilometers and a very high surface area.

In large measure this can be attributed to the large expanse of ocean surface and the sparse population density in many land regions.
