Landform evolution of Tharsis Montes and Olympus Mons of Mars: Insights from morphometric, hypsometric and chronologic evidences

Ahmad, Adnan; Nair, Archana M.

We studied the growth and evolutionary history of four major volcanoes of the Tharsis Province based on morphometry, age and hypsometric studies. Shield volcanoes of Tharsis volcanic province demonstrate marginally dissimilar landform evolutionary trends. Arsia Mons is distinct with a single caldera of large diameter and showed the highest asymmet…
