Mons (plural montes) is the Latin word for mountain; it is a descriptor term used in astrogeology for mountainous features in the Solar System. The three Tharsis Montes volcanoes are enormous by terrestrial standards, ranging in diameter from 375 km (233 mi) (Pavonis Mons) to 475 km (295 mi) (Arsia Mons). [1]
Tharsis (/ ˈ θ ɑːr s ɪ s /) is a vast volcanic plateau centered near the equator in the western hemisphere of Mars.

Apollinaris Mons is about 5 kilometres high with a base about 296 kilometres in diameter. [3] [better source needed] On the top of this volcano is a caldera about 80 km (50 miles) in diameter. The volcano is approximately 3 billion [4] to 3.5 billion years old. [5] It was named in 1973 after a mountain spring near Rome in Italy. [citation needed]
