Tharsis uplift

Tharsis uplift

The Tharsis region on Mars is at the centre of a huge bulge in the surface that is over 4000 km across and 10 km high. Huge shield volcanoes dominate the Tharsis region, including Olympus Mons on the northwest flank, the largest shield volcano in the solar system. The Tharsis uplift was likely caused by upwelling mantle material and is evidence for tectonism on Mars.
