Scientific paper

Comparison between the Tharsis province on Mars and hotspots on Earth
shows hat a simple model of aborted rifting in a crust weakened by a
hotspot can account for most tectonic structures observed in this
region. Permanent Valles Marineris uplift is attributed by the model to
underplating due to the the generation of large volumes of magma.
