Marius Hills [SEP] located on astronomical body
Marius Hills
The Marius Hills are a set of volcanic domes located in Oceanus Procellarum on Earth's Moon. The domes are thought to have formed from lavas fairly more viscous than those that formed lunar mares. These domes average approximately in height. The Marius Hills take their name from the nearby diameter crater Marius. These hills represent the highest concentration of volcanic features on the Moon.
Geography and geology.
An abundance of domes, cones, and volcanic rilles and channels is characteristic of the Marius Hills. The Lunar
Marius (crater)
Marius is a lunar impact crater located on the Oceanus Procellarum. The surface to the west and north of this crater contains a large number of lunar domes spread across an area over a hundred kilometers in diameter that may be of volcanic origin dubbed the Marius Hills. These domes, if volcanic, may have been formed by magma that is fairly more viscous than the volcanic material that formed the basaltic lunar maria. The nearest named crater feature is Reiner to the southwest. Kepler is located to the east
