Talk about vertigo! You've been dropped at the edge of a cliff, looking down for what seems to be miles! There's only one way to go from here: up! But it's going to be quite a climb, requiring all of the moutaineering skills you've ever heard of. The atmosphere here is very thin even at the mean surface level of this place; at altitude you'll never get a lungful. No matter, though, you could not breathe this atmosphere anyway, since it contains no oxygen; it's mostly carbon dioxide. You climb and climb; this mountain must be three times the height of Everest, and much broader at its base! There are clouds around you, and you can find water ice as well. When you try to melt it, however, it does not turn to liquid (it sublimes to gas). Oh well, just keep climbing. But what will you do when you get to the top

Respuesta :

You are situated on Mars' Olympus Mons, the tallest mountain in the solar system.

The Sun and the asteroids that orbit it make up the gravitationally bound system known as the Solar System. A massive interstellar molecular cloud gravitationally collapsed to make it 4.6 billion years ago. The Sun contains the great majority of the system's mass, with Jupiter holding the lion's share of the remaining mass.

On Mars, Olympus Mons is a massive shield volcano. The Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter determined that the volcano is over 21.9 kilometers tall. Olympus Mons rises above sea level nearly 2.5 times as high as Mount Everest. Olympus Mons' exceptional size is most likely caused by Mars' absence of active tectonic plates. Unlike on Earth, a volcano and a hotspot remain covered by a permanent crust on Mars and can keep spewing lava until it reaches a very high height.
