Data obtained from a numerical model of magma reservoir failure, combined with observational constraints, provide insight into the conditions which promote volcano growth on Venus and Mars. On Venus, gradual deepening of an oblate ellipsoidal reservoir in a host rock subjected to uniaxial strain is consistent with the eruptive sequence preserved at Sapas Mons; further work is required to determine if this sequence is representative of other Venusian edifices. On Mars, however, many eruptive sequences are known to be similar. These are most consistent with the presence of an oblate ellipsoidal reservoir located in a host which relaxes from uniaxial strain to lithostatic stress over time.
