A unique volcanic field in Tharsis, Mars: Pyroclastic cones as evidence for explosive eruptions
Original language description
Based on theoretical grounds, explosive basaltic volcanism should be common on Mars, yet the available morphological evidence is sparse. We test this hypothesis by investigating a unique unnamed volcanic field north of the shield volcanoes Biblis Pateraand Ulysses Patera on Mars, where we observe several small conical edifices and associated lava flows. Twenty-nine volcanic cones are identified and the morphometry of many of these edifices is determined using established morphometric parameters such asbasal width, crater width, height, slope, and their respective ratios. Their morphology, morphometry, and a comparison to terrestrial analogues suggest that they are martian equivalents of terrestrial pyroclastic cones, the most common volcanoes on Earth.
