Volcanos, Mars and the Moon.

This website describes the volcanoes of Mars, which are the largest in our solar system. There is a wide spectrum of volcanic evidence on Mars ranging from cones, patera structures, volcanic planes and lava flows. There are less than 20 named volcanoes on Mars, 5 of which are giant shields. Volcanic activity really only occurs in 3 regions of Mars called Tharsis, Elysium, and Hellas Basin.
The website then goes on to explain the differences in age between Mars and the Moon. There are also descriptions between the ‘settings’ of Mars and the Moon. This website is awfully vague and I was not left convinced that the claims they made were actually true. I would not recommend visiting this site.
