Examine the accompanying image of the Uranius Tholus volcano from Mars (taken from NASA’s Viking 1 orbiter in 1977). The volcano is 60 kilometers (37 miles) across and rises about 3 kilometers (2 miles) from the surrounding plain. Describe the impact craters that you can identify from the image, and discuss the relative age of formation of the craters and the volcano. Non-impact-related craters often form during volcanic activity. How can you tell if a crater on Mars is formed by impacts or volcanism?
