Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Volcanoes like Olympus Mons are actually consistent with the lack of plate tectonics on Mars. Olympus Mons is so large because the crust remained stationary over a hotspot for a long time, allowing the volcano to grow. In contrast, plate tectonics on Earth create chains of smaller volcanoes as the plates move over hotspots.
