Nobody knows for sure. The red colour is only a couple of millimeters thick and is composed mostly of iron oxides. These oxides appear to have become airborne and settled as a fine coating.

Scientists think that these oxides came from volcanoes which erupted in the past and wind erosion has created the dust.
