Mechanism of Origin of Chains of Cones in Cryse PLanitia

Abstract: <p><strong>Introduction:</strong> Small cones are common on Mars [1]. Some are concentrated in large fields or form long chains of several dozen kilometers long. Similar cones and chains are observed on Earth in volcanic zones (e.g., Iceland).</p> <p>The origin of cones on Mars is discussed in many papers [e.g., 2-5]. [2] investigated cones in Chryse  Planitia. They believe that the cones are mostly results of mud volcanism and/… Show more

“…There still is uncertainty about the exact mechanism of formation of these landforms. The pseudo-craters are now categorised as rootless cones and both igneous and mud volcano hypotheses have been proposed for their formation (Czechowski et al, 2020; Dapremont and Wray, 2021). Similarly, the pedestal craters, even today, are believed to be a result of presence of ice-rich layers during their formation, when the ejecta formed an erosion-resistant layer shielding the surroundings (Kenkmann and Wulf, 2018).…”
