are there volcanoes on mars?

Answer 1

Yes! The largest in the solar system, actually.

Olympus Mons is the largest volcano ever seen. It's three times higher than Mount Everest and covers a huge area. It's easily seen from space.

Check it out on http://mars.google.com .

(We haven't seen any ACTIVE volcanos on Mars. Mars seems to be very Geologically stable and has been for a very long time.)

Answer 2

There certainly have been, although active vulcanism doesn't appear at the moment. There are some enormous volcanic mountains there. The lava flow spreads out broadly rather than just upwards and many of earth's cinder cones typify volcanoes in our minds. Picture them sort of as pancake batter oozing outward rather than heaps. The link below has a couple of Olympus Mons among other shots of Mars. The JPL link is a good source of info.

Answer 3

Yep there would be volcanos on planet mars cause mars will take millions of years to develop like the planet earth..........and it would be the begining of a new era!!!!!

Answer 4

Mars is no longer volcanic. Once the core cooled and solidified, the magnetic field disappeared also and the atmosphere was slowly pealed off by solar winds.

Answer 5

Quite likely. There are hills and valleys, which are suggestive of techtonic activity, so volcanic activity is quite likely.

Answer 6

Yes, but they all appear dormant.

Answer 7

Ummm...last time I was there I don't recall seeing any! Things change though.

Answer 8

yes shurely there is.

Answer 9

YES!!!!!!!!!!!
