The presently treated eight topographic profiles across the Martian volcano Tyrrhena Patera indicate that the vocano rises about 1.5 km above the plains of Hesperia Planum to the east, and exhibit an average height/diameter ratio of about 1:340. The slopes of the northern flank of Tyrrhena Patera bear little correlation with the width or depth of valley systems in that area, suggesting that erosion by gravity-driven flows was not responsible for valley formation. Attention is given to such other valley geometry and location controlling factors as ground-water release variations and volcano surface unit materials' strength differences.
