The Relationship Between Lava Fans and Tubes on Olympus Mons in the Tharsis Region, Mars

Lava fans and tubes were mapped on the flank of Olympus Mons. 82% of the fans were associated with lava tubes. The fan locations are not consistent with a random Poisson distribution, suggesting the possibility of more than one formation mechanism.
