Small Martian valcanoes

Abstract

Various types of volcanoes were identified on Mars, mainly on the basis of qualitative morphologic criteria such as relief, circularity, summit craters, and alignment with structural trends. A survey of Viking Orbiter images is being conducted to identify possible candidates for Martian volcanoes. The topographic profiles of the selected Martian volcanoes that are currently being acquired will be compared with tabulated data for terrestrial and lunar volcanoes. Variation in volcanic style with age will also be examined.
