Volcanic construct on Mars are not all enormous mountains like the Tharsis Montes. This elongate hill surmounted by a linear depression is interpreted to be a product of localized but not extremely voluminous eruptions. If the volcanic material was emplaced by ejection along a ballistic trajectory, this feature may be similar to a terrestrial cinder cone. This feature is aligned with several grabens in the area so that a structural weakness in the crust may have provided the conduit for the volcanic material to reach the surface.
