when was the last time mauna loa volcano erupted From March 24 to April 15, 1984. describe the structure of it? It is the largest subaerial and second largest overall volcano in the world (behind Tamu Massif), covering a land area of and spans a maximum width of . Consisting of approximately of solid rock, it makes up more than half of the surface area of the island of Hawai which is the first largest overall volcano in the world? Tamu Massif where is its location? It is located in the Shatsky Rise about east of Japan from where did it get its name? The name "Tamu" is taken from the initials of Texas A&M University, where William Sager, a geology professor at the University of Houston and one of the lead scientists studying the volcano, previously taught. describe a few geological aspects of it? The main part of Tamu's rounded dome extends over an area of , totaling more than , many times larger than Mauna Loa, which has an area of , and about half the area of the Martian volcano Olympus Mons. The entire mass of Tamu consists of basalt. Its slopes are very gradual, ranging from less than half a degree to one degree near its summit. what are the surrounding features of the mentioned above martian volcano? It is roughly three times the height of Mount Everest, which in comparison stands at just over . It is either the tallest or second-tallest mountain in the Solar System how did it get its name?

Olympus Mons [SEP] Description
As a shield volcano, Olympus Mons resembles the shape of the large volcanoes making up the Hawaiian Islands. The edifice is about wide. Because the mountain is so large, with complex structure at its edges, allocating a height to it is difficult. Olympus Mons stands above the Mars global datum, and its local relief, from the foot of the cliffs which form its northwest margin to its peak, is over (a little over twice the height of Mauna Kea as measured from its base on the ocean floor). The total elevation change from the plains of Amazonis Planitia, over to the northwest, to the summit approaches .
