From its base (on the floor of the Pacific Ocean) to the summit of Mauna Kea (about 13 000 ft) is some 30 000 ft i. e. higher than Everest. The island comprises several coalescing volcanoes including Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea and Kilauea. Mauna Loa alone has an estimated volume of 40 000 km 3. It is impossible to say which is the smallest volcano since the...

Surface Of Mars Olympus Mons
1,529 wordsNamed after the Roman God of war, Mars has sparked and sustained curiosity than any other planet in our solar system. Astronomers and Geologist have studied the surface of Mars dating back to 1965 when Mariner 4 swept by the planet. Photographs of the planet showed a barren surface scarred by numerous craters. It wasnt until 1976 that scientist got their first glimpse of the Martian Landscape from its surface. As we take a closer look at Mars we may find many similarities as well as differences ...

North And South Olympus Mons
1,343 wordsGeology of Mars by Luke Just Mars is the planet that is the closest geologically to our own. Still we know little about the planet. All the information that we have is from what we see. We can speculate about the geology of the planet but we will never know for sure what the planet is really made of until we physically go there. The information is all from NASA sites or NASA related sites. Mars red color leads us to believe that the planet has large amounts of iron. This red color is the only co...

Time It Takes Surface Of Mars
1,058 wordsMars is the fourth planet from the sun at about 228 million-km (141 million miles) and the last terrestrial planet from the sun. The next five planets in order from the sun are gaseous. Mars follows closely behind Earth but is comparatively smaller, with about half the diameter of Earth and about one-tenth of Earth s mass. Thus the force of gravity on Mars is about one-third of that on Earth. Though it is much smaller, Mars does have the same surface land area as Earth. Other than Earth, Mars po...

Mars is named for the Roman god of war because it appears fiery red in the earth? s night sky. Mars is a small planet that has about half the diameter of Earth and about one-tenth Earth? s mass. The force of gravity on the surface of Mars is about one-third of that on Earth. Mars has twice the diameter and twice the surface gravity of Earth? s moon. The surface area of Mars is almost exactly the same...
