	Tharsis Montes
		They are Arsia Mons in the lower left, Pavonis Mons in the middle, and Ascreus Mons in the upper right.
		Arsia Mons, Pavonis Mons, and Ascreus Mons dominate the center of the Tharsis region, forming a line nearly 1500 km long.
		Arsia Mons appears to be slightly older than Pavonis Mons, which, in turn, slightly predates Ascreus Mons, indicating that volcanism in the Tharsis region gradually shifted north over time.

	Arsia Mons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arsia Mons is the southernmost of three volcanos (collectively known as Tharsis Montes) on the Tharsis bulge near the equator of the planet Mars.
		To its north is Pavonis Mons, and north of that is Ascraeus Mons.
		Arsia Mons is over nine kilometers high at the summit and its caldron is about 110 km wide.

	Olympus Mons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The size of Olympus Mons is so great (roughly the size of the American state of Arizona) that a person standing on the surface of Mars would be unable to view the profile of the volcano even from a distance as the curvature of the planet would obscure such detail.
		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.
		The volcano is surrounded by a region known as the Olympus Mons Aureole (Latin, "Circle of Light") with gigantic ridges and blocks extending 1000 km (600 miles) from the summit that show evidence of development and resurfacing connected with glacial activity.

		Un mosaico di immagini dell'Arsia Mons teletrasmesse a Terra dalla sonda automatica Mars Odyssey.
		Arsia Mons è il nome di un vulcano situato sulla superficie di Marte, nella regione equatoriale di Tharsis; è il più meridionale dei tre vulcani che costituiscono i Tharsis Montes.
		Poco più a nord si trova il Pavonis Mons, e più avanti nella stessa direzione si trova l'Ascraeus Mons.

	Active Volcanism On Mars
		Arsia Mons, Pavonis Mons and Ascraeus Mons, are gigantic volcano triplets of a youthful age with evidence of recent volcanism (Hartmann et al., 1999).
		Hartmann et al., concluded that the youngest surfaces they detected on Arsia Mons were 40-100 million years and extrapolating their results for Pavonis Mons the age of the valley floor and thus the age of the latest erosive event there is very recent and must be well within 10 million years.
		It is speculated that, at least for Arsia Mons, the more advanced system may be connected with the caldera and act as a pathway for melt-water generated through volcanism within the caldera walls.

	Martian Volcanoes
		It is 24 kilometers (15 miles) high, 550 kilometers (340 miles) in diameter and is rimmed by a 6 kilometers (4 miles) high scarp.
		The caldera on Arsia Mons is considerably larger than the calderas on either Ascraeus Mons or Pavonis Mons.
		However, the last major collapse event on Arsia Mons was followed by a substantial outpouring of lava within the caldera.

		Arsia Mons and the other large Tharsis volcanoes commonly develop afternoon orographic (i.e., topographically-controlled) water ice clouds at this time of year.
		The equatorial Tharsis volcano, Pavonis Mons, is also under a deck of water ice clouds; it is located toward the upper right corner of the left, lower-resolution image.
		The dark oval to the northeast of Arsia Mons, as noted above, is the shadow of Phobos.

	ESA - Mars Express - Arsia Mons volcano in 3D
		This image of the Arsia Mons shield volcano was taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA’s Mars Express.
		This image shows a spectacular zone of collapse features on the southern flank of the giant shield volcano Arsia Mons (located at 239°E longitude and 10°S latitude, see the Mars map image).
		The overall trend of the collapse zone runs from the south-west to the north-east, following exactly a giant zone of crustal weakness in the Tharsis region, along which the three large volcanoes Arsia, Pavonis and Ascraeus Montes are aligned.

		Their task is to identify 3 images from a region close to the volcano (~ 100-500 km from the base of the structure) that show evidence of lava flows and other volcanic features (cones, channels, tubes).
		They should see a relationship where the flows furthest from Arsia Mons are thicker and wider than those closer to the volcano.
		Arsia Mons reflects this relationship in the morphology of the lava flows that surround it.

	Comparing Earth and Mars
		All of the mons in the Tharsis Region appear to be shield volcanos because shield volcanos are low, broad, dome-shaped types of volcanos which are identical to the volcanos in the Tharsis Region.
		Also, the circular lines on Arsia Mons are getting smaller which means the land is rising and for the land to be rising there has to be movement occurring on the plates Arsia Mons is sitting on.
		In both Olympus Mons and Tharsis Montes the lava flow that precedes the building of a volcano shows some definite similarities that occur when a volcano is formed in a formed in a divergent boundary.

	Geologic Map of Pavonis Mons Volcano, Mars
		The volcanic history of Pavonis Mons is similar to that of other volcanoes in the western equatorial region of Mars (Scott and others, 1981a–c; Scott and Tanaka, 1981, 1986; Zimbelman and Edgett, 1992).
		Similar to those of Arsia Mons, the fan-shaped deposits of Pavonis Mons consist of several facies whose origins are attributed to glaciation, mass wasting, and pyroclastic volcanism origins.
		The purpose of the large-scale (1:500,000) mapping was to study the morphology and stratigraphy of the fan-shaped materials on Pavonis Mons for comparison with those on Arsia Mons (Scott and Zimbelman, 1995) and to determine whether they have similar origins and ages.

		The volcano height gives a means of estimating the depth of melting, and the degree of sagging of the crust under the weight of the volcano permits the viscosities of the crustal materials and hence the temperature profile to be calculated.
		All around Olympus Mons, blocks of strongly ridged terrain extend as far as 1000 km from the scarp and constitute the so-called aureole.
		The flows that erupted from Arsia Mons extend some 1500 km away from the summit and bury the older cratered terrain of the southern hemisphere.

		The most obvious features are the large volcanoes in the Tharsis province, such as Olympus Mons, and the extensive plains formed from volcanic flows.
		Recent imaging data from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor suggests that the great shield caldera of Arsia Mons is no older than 40-100 million years old, based on the lack of impact craters.
		Globally, volcanic activity is thought to have peaked about 3000-3500 million years ago (when the Martian ridged plains were formed) and the rate has since dropped off exponentially so that today there are no signs of active volcanoes.
