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.


Olympus mons on mars is an extinct shield volcano?

yes. it is an extinct shield volcano which is the result of lava flowing out over a long period.


Where is olympus mons located?

Olympus Mons is a shield volcano, similar to the ones that formed the islands of Hawaii, only much larger. It formed over many millions if not billions of years as lava flows piled up on one another and cooled. Because Mars lacks plate tectonics, Olympus Mons probably formed over a hot spot.


What would the volcanic cone Olympus mons on mars be consider?

Olympus Mons on Mars is considered to be the largest volcano in the solar system. It is a shield volcano that formed from the eruption of low-viscosity lava, resulting in a broad, gently sloping cone. Its height is about 13.6 miles (22 km), and it is around 370 miles (600 km) in diameter at its base.


Does mars have a molten core?

Mars is believed to have a solid core made mostly of iron and nickel, but it is not molten like Earth's core. This lack of a molten core is one reason why Mars does not have a global magnetic field like Earth.

Does mars have lava in side?

Mars does not currently have active volcanic eruptions, so there is no flowing lava on its surface. However, evidence suggests that Mars had volcanic activity in the past, and there are remnants of volcanic features such as mountains, valleys, and ancient lava flows.


Does lava flow on Mars?

There is evidence of ancient lava flows on Mars, but active lava flows like those seen on Earth are not currently present. Mars does not have active volcanic activity like Earth due to its thinner atmosphere and cooler interior.


Is the center of mars lava?

The center of Mars is not composed of lava; instead, it is believed to consist of a metallic core primarily made of iron, with some sulfur and nickel. Surrounding the core is a silicate mantle, which may have experienced volcanic activity in the planet's past, leading to the formation of lava flows on the surface. However, the core itself is solid or possibly partially liquid, rather than being composed of molten lava.


Does mars have any strange features?

yes there is a giant lava pool. there is also a gelatinous lump on its surface

Can volcanoes destroy planets?

Most of them are pretty much harmless seen as you can outwalk the lava....so maybe only mars planets! x


What are mars rock made out of?

Mars rocks are primarily made of basalt, which is a volcanic rock formed from solidified lava. They also contain minerals such as olivine, pyroxene, and feldspar. The red color of Mars rocks is due to the presence of iron oxide, or rust.
