Olympus Mons (Latin, "Mount Olympus") is the tallest known volcano and mountain in our solar system. It is located on the planet Mars at approximately 18° N 133° W. Since the late 19th century-well before space probes confirmed its identity as a mountain-Olympus Mons was known to astronomers as the albedo feature, Nix Olympica ("Snows of Olympus"), although its mountainous nature was suspected.[1]

[edit] General description

Olympus Mons

Olympus Mons

The central edifice stands 27 kilometers (around 16.7 miles/approx. 88,580 ft) high above the mean surface level of Mars[2][3] (about three times the elevation of Mount Everest above sea level and 2.6 times the height of Mauna Kea above its base). It is 550 km (342 miles) in width, flanked by steep cliffs, and has a caldera complex that is 85 km (53 miles) long, 60 km (37 miles) wide, and up to 3 km (1.8 miles) deep with six overlapping pit craters. Its outer edge is defined by an escarpment up to 6 km (4 miles) tall; unique among the shield volcanoes of Mars.

Both the size of Olympus Mons and its shallow slope (2.5 degrees central dome surrounded by 5 degree outer region) mean that a person standing on the surface of Mars would be unable to view the upper profile of the volcano even from a distance, as the curvature of the planet and the volcano itself would obscure it. However, one could view parts of Olympus: standing on the highest point of its summit, the slope of the volcano would extend beyond the horizon, a mere 3 kilometers away[4]; from the three kilometer elevated caldera rim one could see 80 kilometers to the caldera's other side; from the southeast scarp highpoint (about 5 km elevation[5]) one could look about 180 km southeast; from the northwest scarp highpoint (about 8 km elevation) one could look upslope possibly 240 km and look northeast possibly 230 km.

An occasional misconception is that the top of Olympus Mons is above the Martian atmosphere. The atmospheric pressure at the top varies between 5 and 8% of the average Martian surface pressure (600 pascals)[6][7]; by comparison the atmospheric pressure at the summit of Mount Everest is about 32% of that at sea level[8]. Even so, airborne Martian dust is still present and high altitude carbon dioxide-ice cloud cover is still possible at the peak of Olympus Mons, though water-ice clouds are not. Although the average Martian surface atmospheric pressure is less than 1% of that seen on Earth, the much lower gravity on Mars allows its atmosphere to extend much higher, as lower gravity increases scale height.

Two of the craters on Olympus Mons have been provisionally assigned names by the IAU. These are the 15.6 km diameter Karzok crater (18°25′N, 131°55′W) and the 10.4 km diameter Pangboche crater (17°10′N, 133°35′W).[9]

[edit] Volcanism

Olympus Mons is a shield volcano, the result of highly fluid lava flowing out of volcanic vents over a long period of time, and is much wider than it is tall; the average slope of Olympus Mons' flanks is very gradual. In 2004 the Mars Express orbiter imaged old lava flows on the flanks of Olympus Mons. Based on crater size and frequency counts, the surface of this western scarp has been dated from 115 million years in age down to a region that is only 2 million years old.[10] This is very recent in geological terms, suggesting that the mountain may yet have some ongoing volcanic activity.

The Hawaiian Islands are examples of similar shield volcanoes on a smaller scale (see Mauna Kea). The extraordinary size of Olympus Mons is likely because Mars does not have tectonic plates. Thus, the crust remained fixed over a hotspot and the volcano continued to discharge lava, bringing it to such a height.

The caldera at the peak of the volcano was formed after volcanism ceased and the roof of the emptied magma chamber collapsed. During the collapse the surface became extended and formed fractures. Later additional caldera collapses were formed due to subsequent lava production. These overlapped the original circular caldera, giving the edge a less symmetrical appearance.[11]

[edit] Early observations and nami

Answer 3

I don't know ....I am not that smart ....=(  I wish I could tell you .....sorry ! =)

Answer 4

in greece, far away...yup, i know stupid answer! <3 (its all i could think of)

Answer 5

it's not on the earth.

it's on mars.

that is, presuming you mean Olympus Mons, on Mars.

as opposed to Mt Olympus, in Greece.

Answer 6

looks like somewhere in the northern hemisphere of Mars. If we can find the longitude and latitude, we can find the corresponding location on earth.

edit: okay. I found a site that will get you some info. I am not too computer literate, so you may want to check it out....

here is another link:

Olympus Mons is so big it covers an area (in the image on the site) that coordinates are 12 to 26 degrees north latitude and 126 to 138 west longitude.

not sure where that corresponds to on the earth.
