1. Mars

   Linked via "Tharsis region"

   Volcanism and Tectonics
   Mars hosts the largest known volcanoes in the Solar System, including Olympus Mons, a shield volcano towering approximately $21.9 \text{ km}$ above the mean datum, nearly three times the height of Mount Everest above sea level. The absence of discernible plate tectonics on Mars means these massive volcanic features built up over vast timescales without the crustal movement that typically redistribute…

2. Tharsis Montes

   Linked via "Tharsis region"

   Tectonic Precursors
   Unlike Earth, Mars lacks global plate tectonics. The formation of the Tharsis Montes is attributed to a stationary, deep-seated mantle plume, or perhaps a series of temporally distinct plumes, puncturing a thin or exceptionally weak early lithosphere [4]. The massive uplift associated with the entire Tharsis region initiated significant stresses on the surrounding [crust…
