👣World Explore | FUNFACT!!—-OLYMPUS MONS
/———————————————————————————————————————–/
🙋Welcome to this short educational video about the tallest mountain in the solar system – Olympus Mons. Located on Mars, this massive shield volcano towers over any mountain on Earth, reaching a height of 22 kilometers or 13.6 miles. That’s almost three times the height of Mount Everest, the tallest mountain on Earth.Scientists believe that Olympus Mons formed billions of years ago, due to volcanic activity on Mars. Unlike Earth’s mountains, Olympus Mons is not formed by tectonic plate movement, but rather by the build-up of lava flows over time.Interestingly, because Mars has a lower gravity than Earth, the slopes of Olympus Mons are much gentler than they would be on Earth. This means that if you were standing at the base of Olympus Mons, you would barely even notice that you were on a mountain.So, there you have it – the tallest mountain in the solar system, Olympus Mons. We hope you enjoyed learning about it and stay tuned for more interesting facts about our solar system.
HAVE A NICE DAY!!!♥️
