Science Question:
Is there evidence of cinder cones on Mars and if so how do they compare to the cinder cones in Lassen Volcanic National Park in Northern California?
Main Results:
1. Most Martian cinder cones have a larger base diameter than Earth cinder cones.

2. Martian and Earth cinder cones have similar caldera diameters ranging from 200-400 meters.

3. We also found many rootless cinder cones on Mars, including in our Primary Image. The number and frequency of these cones suggest a very liquid rich environment.
