NASA scientists have found evidence that thousands of massive ancient volcanoes erupted on Mars. The so-called "super eruptions" occurred in a region of northern Mars called Arabia Terra over a period of 500 million years dating back approximately 4 billion years. "Modelers of the Martian climate will have some work to do to try to understand the impact of the volcanoes." They made three-dimensional topographic maps of Arabia Terra and compared mineral data to the maps in order to see that the layers of ash were well preserved. "These types of explosive volcanoes also could exist in regions of Jupiter’s moon or could have been clustered on Venus."
