Alba Mons
Alba Mons (formerly known as Alba Patera, a term that has since been restricted to the volcano's summit caldera [2] ) is an immense, low-lying volcano located in the northern Tharsis region of the planet Mars . It is the largest volcano on Mars in terms of area, with volcanic flow fields that extend for at least 1,350 km (840 mi) from its summit. [3] Although the volcano has a span comparable to that of the United States , it reaches an elevation of only 6.8 km (22,000 ft) at its highest point. [4] This is about one-third the height of Olympus Mons , the tallest volcano on the planet. [5] The flanks of Alba Mons have very gentle slopes. The average slope along the volcano's northern (and steepest) flank is 0.5°, which is over five times lower than the slopes on the other large Tharsis volcanoes . [4] [6] In broad profile, Alba Mons resembles a vast but barely raised welt on the planet's surface. [7] It is a unique volcanic structure with no counterpart on Earth or elsewhere on Mars. [4]

Alba Mons is an enormous volcano located at the northern edge of the Tharsis region on Mars . It is roughly 2000 kilometers in diameter but only 6.8 kilometers tall at its highest point. It is the largest volcano on Mars in terms of areal extent [2] . Near the volcano's summit is a double caldera (volcanic crater) complex consisting of at least five coalescent depressions [3] . Before 2007, the term Alba Patera was used for the entire volcano. The name Alba Patera now only applies formally to the central depressions [4] . |

Alba Patera is the depression atop Alba Mons, a unique volcanic feature to the north of the Tharsis region of Mars . Alba Mons is an enormous shield volcano roughly 1600 kilometers in diameter but only ~6 kilometers tall at its highest point. It is the largest volcano in the solar system, in terms of area and volume. It has thinner lava flows than other Martian shield volcanos, with both enormous sheet-like layers and hundreds of long, narrow channels on its flanks. Most of the narrow channels are over 100 kilometers long, with some over 300 kilometers, suggesting very fluid lava erupting over long periods of time. Alba Mons is located on a system of faults running northwards from Tharsis. |
