The Tharsis region is a bulge more than four thousand meters high and is about the size of North America. It is located at the transition from the southern highlands to the northern lowlands.

Summary

[edit]
Description
Deutsch: Die Region Tharsis ist eine Aufwölbung von mehr als viertausend Metern Höhe und hat etwa die Größe Nordamerikas. Sie befindet sich am Übergang vom südlichen Hochland zu den nördlichen Tiefebenen. Ihr Ursprung ist nicht endgültig geklärt, doch die vulkanische und tektonische Prägung lässt es als wahrscheinlich erscheinen, dass große, aus dem Mantel des Planeten aufsteigende Magmablasen im Laufe der Marsgeschichte von unten wie ein Stempel gegen die spröde Kruste gedrückt und Tharsis angehoben haben. Vulkane und gewaltige Dehnungsstrukturen waren die Folge. Neben den drei markanten Tharsis-Vulkanen (Tharsis Montes) und dem Olympus Mons gehört auch der riesige Vulkankomplex Alba Patera zur Region Tharsis. Die Farbskala für diese topographische Karte macht die enormen Höhenunterschiede gegenüber der Umgebung von Tharsis deutlich. Das umrahmte Feld markiert das von Mars Express während Orbit 25.000 aufgenommene Gebiet. Credit: NASA/JPL/USGS/MOLA; FU Berlin
English: The Tharsis region is a bulge more than four thousand meters high and is about the size of North America. It is located at the transition from the southern highlands to the northern lowlands. Its origin has not been finally clarified, but the volcanic and tectonic influence makes it seem likely that large magma bubbles rising from the planet's mantle have pressed like a stamp against the brittle crust from below over the course of Mars' history and raised Tharsis. Volcanoes and huge expansion structures were the result. In addition to the three striking Tharsis volcanoes (Tharsis Montes) and Olympus Mons, the huge volcanic complex Alba Patera also belongs to the Tharsis region. The color scale for this topographic map highlights the enormous differences in elevation compared to the surrounding area of ​​Tharsis. The boxed box marks the area captured by Mars Express during orbit 25,000. Credit: NASA/JPL/USGS/MOLA; FU Berlin
