Mars's largest mountain is named Olympus Mons and is the largest one in the solar system.
Most of that mountain's slope is so low that if you were on that slope, You wouldn't realise you were on it.
Olympus Mons is an inactive volcano.
Yes. Mars had all of the topographic features that you would find here on Earth.

∙ 13y agoYes. However, there is no current volcanic activity on Mars. Martian volcanoes appear to be dead. The planet is much smaller in diameter than the Earth, so has experienced faster internal cooling, and is too far away from any other large body to experience heating from gravitational stresses, leaving the probability of active vulcanism very small.

∙ 15y agoYes! Except mars doesn't have any active volcanoes, meaning that they won't explode. Mars also has mountains and many of them. If you go to Google images you can see some really awesome ones! HOPE THIS HELPED! [yups it does many actually and also a nice lokking cater] (;
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoMany! Mars has mountains that are so huge, the ones on Earth look like nothing.
The tallest mountain on Mars is Olympus Mons, at 22km high it is 3 times the height of everest from sea level to summit.
Other noticable mountains are Pavonis Mons, Ascraeus Mons, Arsia Mons and Elysium Mons.
Most of these used to be volcanoes, but Mars is no longer volcanically active.

∙ 15y agoOlympus mons on mars is the tallest known volcano or mountain in our solar sytstem.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes it does. It also has volcanic remains - one is over 3 times as high as Mt Everest.

∙ 15y agoThere are a number of mountains on Mars, including the larges known mountain in the solar system, Olympus Mons - an extinct volcano 75, 000 feet tall!

Are there landforms on other planets?
Yes, there are volcanoes on Mars and Venus.There are also volcanoes on some moons. The largest volcano (Olympus Mons) in the solar system is on Mars.Io, Jupiter's moon, has the most number of active volcanoes.
Are there volcanoes or storms on Mars?
Mars has volcanoes and the biggest volcano in the whole solar system. There are storms too.
What would you expect to find composite volcanoes on Mars?
What would you expect to find composite volcanoes on Mars? Explain why.
Does phobos volcanoes?
Phobos is one of the moons of Mars. Both Phobos and Mars' other moon, Deimos, have craters but do not have volcanoes.
How are mars and earth volcano alike?
Like Earth, Venus has volcanic mountains and other features that are probably made of thin, runny lava, on Venus the volcanos sometimes spew out sulfur into the atmosphere, although there is no proof Venus is volcanically active, scientists believe it most likely is. On Mars there are large shields of volcanoes similar to those on Venus and Earth,as well as cone-shaped volcanoes and lava flows, some of these volcaoes are significantly bigger than Earth's volcanoes, such as Olympus Mons, which is 3 times the size of Mount Everest, but none of these are volcanically active.
Do mars has moons rings or other features such as volcanoes craters mountains storms or marks on mars?
Mars has two moons, a number of volcanoes, impact craters, mountains, and dust storms. It does not have rings.
Are volcanoes on Mars extremely active?
No. The volcanoes of Mars are extinct.
Does Mars have volcanoes active now?
No. All the volcanoes on Mars are extinct.
Does Mars have rings or craters or volcanoes?
Mars has volcanoes and craters, but not rings.
Are any volcanoes on mars acetiv?
Mars is not thought to have any active volcanoes. However, there are large inactive volcanoes found on the surface of Mars.
Did plate tectonics on Mars form the volcanoes on Mars?
No. Mars does not have plate tectonics. The volcanoes on Mars are the result of hot spots.
Are there landforms on other planets?
Yes, there are volcanoes on Mars and Venus.There are also volcanoes on some moons. The largest volcano (Olympus Mons) in the solar system is on Mars.Io, Jupiter's moon, has the most number of active volcanoes.
Are there volcanoes or storms on Mars?
Mars has volcanoes and the biggest volcano in the whole solar system. There are storms too.
What are some unusual features on Mars?
mars has volcanoes
Are volcanoes important for making mountains?
Yes volcanoes are very important for making mountains
Can a mountain be a volcano?
Yes. Although most mountains are not volcanoes, many volcanoes are mountains.
Does the planet Mars have active volcanoes?
it has volcanoes, but none are active
