Elysium uplift

Elysium uplift

A region at the centre of a huge bulge in the Martian surface formed by a series of fluid lava flow eruptions that carpeted its flanks and slowly built up the high features we see today, and is evidence for tectonism on Mars. The Elysium uplift was likely caused by upwelling mantle material.
