Volcanoes on Earth and Mars
Volcanoes can be found on many planets and satellites in the Solar System, although not all volcanoes are the same as those found on Earth. It is the conditions on the planet and its composition that determine the shape of the volcanoes and the material that is erupted.
Students will use topography data to plot the shapes of various volcanoes on Mars, and compare these with the shapes and dimensions of volcanoes on the Earth. They will then investigate reasons why (such as a weaker gravitational field) volcanoes on Mars are so much higher and broader than those on the Earth.
