Volcanic activity. It was most likely created by a long-lived plume of rising mantle material that bulged the surface upward. This provided the molten rock for the eruptions which built the volcano.

∙ 13y agoOlympus Mons is a massive volcano on Mars. The reason it is so big is that Mars has a very thick crust. While mars was geologically active, pressure would build up over a long period of time before it was great enough to break through the crust, so when it did, the resulting volcanoes were much more powerful than they are on Earth. Because our crust is thinner, we have more volcanoes, but they are smaller.

What causes volcanoes to become extinct?
Plate tectonics. As the plates shift on the large ball of molten rock around the core, the surface plates move to form new volcanoes while the old ones are left behind and are nothing but mountains. A good example of this is Olympus Mons the largest volcano in the solar system. Because Mars is so small its core wasnt hot enough to have plate tectonics so the volcano kept growing until the planets core cooled down so much that it is no longer in a molten state.

Do the vocanoes on Mars erupt?
Mars can be divided two mismatches halves. Its southern hemisphere is old,elevated.rough,and heavily cratered. In northern hemisphere has smoother,younger terrain,dotted volcanoes. Near the equator is a bulge known as the Tharsis uplift,which supports enormous volcanoes,including the largest in the solar system, Olympus Mons. This gently sloping,volcano, more than 26 Km. high and 600 Km.acroos the base,probably attained its current size through repeated outpourring of lava over the eons.Because Mars does not have plate tectonics,Martian volcanoes,can stay in place and grow indefinitely over the hot spot that feed them
