  2. Which solar system?

  3. Mars does have some very high cliffs, but the Uranus' moon Miranda has a whopper of a cliff. When Voyager 2 swept within 18,000 miles of the 300 miles wide icy moon back in 1986, it photographed an ice cliff that is 12 miles high. With temperatures on the order of -370 degrees Fahrenheit, the ice on Miranda's surface is as hard as steel. Because of that and the moon's low gravity, the cliff hasn't collapsed because of it getting too high or too steep to remain stable.  

  4. i would assume they'd be on olympus mons.... it's the largest volcano (and mountain) known in the solar system.
