Tony Scott, former CIO at both Microsoft and Disney and now the CIO at IT services company VMware in Silicon Valley, views this trend as a good thing overall. In the old days you had to go to a travel agent because they were the only people who understood the industry. Today you can do that yourself using a rich selection of services, he says.
A-olympus mons a 69000-foot-tall mountain on mars is the. A-Olympus Mons, a 69,000-foot-tall mountain on Mars, is the largest volcano in the solar system. Its circumference at the base is large enough to cover almost the entire state of Colorado. A space probe could safely land at almost any point on the volcano without fear of it toppling over due to a landing on a steep slope.
The caldera in the center is 80 km (50 miles) wide and contains multiple circular, overlapping collapse craters created by different volcanic events. Olympus Mons' tremendous height is thought to be due to its volcanic activity and the flow of hot lava. Lava flow radiating 500 miles from the crater was clearly seen in the Mariner 9 photographs. There is a discrepancy in the actual measurement of Mount Olympus. Because the measurements are actually estimations from the pictures of the Mariner 9, results for the height of the volcano range from 22 to 29 kilometers (14 to 16 miles) high.
