I learned that Olympus Mons is three times taller than Mount Everest and as wide as the state of Arizona—that’s crazy!
I learned that Mount St. Helens is a subduction zone volcano, and it’s the most famous subduction zone volcano.
If I tried to dig 4,000 miles to get to the center of Earth, my arms would get tired before I even reached the mantle.
