Euboea Montes
Euboea Montes is a mountain on Io, a moon of Jupiter. Its coordinates are at . It is about 10.5±1 km high, and was formed by tilting of a crustal block, with subsequent modification by a very large landslide.
Physical characteristics.
Euboea Montes is rugby ball shaped (175 km by 240 km), located about 40 kilometers east of Creidne Patera caldera. It has an altitude of 10.5 km. There is a curved ridge crest which divides Euboea Montes into two
uplift of large crustal blocks. On Earth, a similar mechanism exists, for example in the Black Hills of Dakota.
Schenk and M. H. Bulmer identify the deposit of a possible landslide off Euboea Montes. The thick deposit at the northern flank is interpreted to be from a landslide, and they further point to the shape of the northern flank as evidence for slope failure. The estimated volume of the debris apron is about 25,000 km. If this is true, then Euboea Montes has arguably one of the largest debris
