tharsis

Three very large volcanoes are found on the Tharsis bulge, an enormous geologic area near Mars´s equator.

在塔尔西斯高原上发现了三座非常大的火山。塔尔西斯高原是火星赤道附近一片广阔的地质区域。

Most of the largest volcanoes are associated with the Tharsis bulge, but many smaller ones are found in the northern plains.

大多数最大的火山都与塔尔西斯凸起有关，但在北部平原上发现了许多较小的火山。

Both Etna and Tharsis show similar patterns of rifting running through the body of the volcano.

不管是埃特纳火山还是塔西斯高地，贯穿火山山体的裂隙也都显示出了相似的格局。

Tharsis is surrounded by Titanic gouges in the landscape radiating outwards for hundreds of miles, known as fossae.

塔西斯高地被巨大的沟壑所包围，这种辐射状地貌向外蔓延了数百英里，被称为槽沟。
