The volcanic mountain (Olympus) is the largest volcano and the highest mountain in the solar system and it is located on the surface of Mars and has a height of 27000 meters, and the reason for its height lies in the constant movement of tectonic plates in the crust of Mars, in conjunction with the presence of the continuous pyroclastic flow, which contributed to the continuation of The height of the borders of this mountain until it reached this tremendous height, and the existence of this giant mountain was observed for the first time during the year 1877 by the scientist Giovanni Schiaparelli. This volcanic mountain is still geologically active, and contains three craters, and it is a geologically young volcanic mountain, where scientists believe that it arose about 200 million years ag
