摘要

Volcanic activity is widespread within the inner Solar system and it can be commonly observed on rocky planets. In this work, we analyse the structures of Pavonis Mons in the Tharsis volcanic province of Mars by performing structural mapping, azimuth, and topographic distribution of linear features on the flanks of Pavonis, such as grabens and pit chains. We tested whether their formation is to be ascribed to the volcano dynamics and magmatic activity or the tectonics. Through the length size distribution and fractal clustering analyses of the structural features, we found that large grabens are vertically confined in the upper mechanical layers of the brittle crust whereas pit chains penetrate the whole crust up to the magmatic source, indicating that they can be considered the main feeders of Pavonis Mons. We inverted the topography with dykes and faults models to test whether grabens at the surface are the expression of intrusions at depth and we suggest that thin dykes inducing normal faulting are the most likely mechanism. Furthermore, two azimuthal distribution of the grabens are identified: concentric grabens occur on the volcano summit while linear grabens at its base show NE-SW trend as the Tharsis Mons volcanos alignment. The occurrence of linear grabens suggests that Pavonis likely experienced a phase of active rifting with the formation of such structures, followed by a phase of volcano growth and concentric magma intrusions when volcano and magma chamber dynamics prevailed.
