Mars geology has a couple of really weird things. First of all, if we were to create oceans, most of the southern hemisphere would be ocean and most of the northern would be land. Secondly, every large martian volcano has a NON-COINCIDENTAL large asteroid impact on the opposite spot of the planet. Yes, they are born by beeing kicked in the bum.
Long story short, scientists think Mars got hit with some _really_ heavy rocks during the LHB, even one so heavy it turned the whole north into a giant crater. The disagreement comes from whether Mars was too small and would've lost its atmosphere anyway... or if it would've been fine if those impacts hadn't slowed down and cooled the core, killing the magnetic field. If the latter, we'd have had next door neighbours.
Tangential fun fact: Despite being taller than Mt. Everest by a considerable degree, Olympus Mons has a very gentle grade. Plenty of other commentors have mentioned that walking up said slope would be about as difficult as trekking halfway across Arizona, but I will mention something else: If you ran a rail track up the side of Olympus Mons, you could sling spacecraft into orbit at a similar cost ratio to running a cross-country cargo train.
Uh, no. The amount of propulsion to escape the pull of gravity is astronomical. You'd use rockets, not rails. It's not how high you are from the surface that matters, it is about how fast you are going.
@@Firebolt68 I’m not saying you wouldn’t have to go fast. I’m saying it’s a lot easier to accelerate up to orbital velocity over a long shallow grade in a thin atmosphere than it is to do it straight up in a thick one.
The distance from the bottom of the Mariana Trench to the Top of Mount Everest is 11 miles. So, that mountain on Mars is taller than The Mariana Trench to Mount Everest by 5 miles.

The two mountains are next to each other and if Mauna Loa follows the same geological trajectory as Mauna Kea, it will be taller and still far far more massive by the time it's done erupting, which it isn't.

@@beanapprentice1687 gravity only works if there is an atmosphere and if you thought opposite explain it and try to teach me your way and stop being a dick who uses jokes from second grade
The fact that the mountain on mars you're talking about it of volcanic origin blows my mind. What would be the destruction of it, if it was active on earth. Also, there is a same size or bigger mountain in the solar system by 0.1 km. It's called Rheasilvia Crater Central Peak, on the dwarf planet Vesta. Plus, it is not factual, and unclear (given that the thing seen may be just the atmosphere) but on (307261) 2002 MS4, there is an alleged mountain that is near 29 km in height.
Besides gravity, going up on that climb has no challenge at all, since there's no atmosphere on mars anyway. Breathing and temperature will never be a problem.
btw on mars the horizon is much closer and you wont even notice you are on the mountain if you were on Olympus mons. you would think you are on flat ground.
It just occurred to me sitting here watching this in 2024 that Olympus Mons will be climbed by a human being one day. . My words are marked right here on UA-cam. I'm 54 years old and when it happens I will have most assuredly long since passed away. But if you're one of the people who climb it 50-100 years from now or whenever.. Leave a like and a remark for "Little Mike" the truck driver from Alabama that had this realization. Congratulations. 👍
If Olympus mons was in the Mariana trench, it would be taller than earth's atmosphere, because it could only fit on its side. But, if the base was as far below sea level as the mariana trench's lowest point, the peak would still reach higher than mount everest.
Mountain size is measured in two different ways. How tall it is and how big it is. The *biggest* mountain is Mount Everest, which is measured from sea level to the peak. But how *tall* a mountain is, is measured from the bottom to the peak which can usually be underwater. I believe the mountain from Hawaii is actually the tallest
That's wild, it looks like a continent in itself! It would be really weird if they discover that there was only one continent on Mars in it's past and the rest was water!
It's not very impressive when figuring the size of the base being as large as Arizona. Everest/Mauna Kea are much more slender than Mons. It's actually sloped so little that you wouldn't be able to tell where the summit is while climbing it.
Not a fair comparison. Martian gravity wouldn't only make it an easier climb, it couldn't exist on Earth because of the mass difference. A better example would be Aphrodite Mons on Venus.
So the biggest mountain on earth if measured from the ocean floor is mount lamlam in guam . The base of mount lamlam is at the bottom of the marianas trench.
Yeah, it's what probably destroyed Mars' atmosphere when it erupted, blasting off most of the atmosphere and killing the planet. And then a ejecta just caused further devastation and causing the planet to desirtfy.
incorrect. The ones under the seas of Saturn there is P16b12 that is over 120km tall and has the density of the strongest diamond found multiplied by 10 power of 9
