Fig. 8

Morphometric comparison between the measured mounds and other terrestrial analogs. Log-log plots showing mound height versus basal diameter. Dashed lines represent the best linear least squares fits of parameters of each feature. Terrestrial analogs with height and diameter values used for morphometric comparison are offshore mud volcanoes on Earth (Kioka and Ashi 2015; Kirkham et al. 2017), onshore mud volcanoes on Earth (Chigira and Tanaka 1997; Brož and Hauber 2013), potential tuff rings and cones on Mars (Brož and Hauber 2013), potential scoria cones on Mars (Brož et al. 2015), terrestrial maars (Pike 1978), terrestrial lava domes (Pike 1978), terrestrial cinder/scoria cones (Pike 1978; Favalli et al. 2009; Rodríguez et al. 2010), terrestrial pingos (Cabrol et al. 2000), terrestrial tuff rings/cones (Pike 1978), and terrestrial rootless cones (Pike 1978). Morphometric data of elongated (not circular) mounds is not used. Mound maximum height is preferentially used as mound height if available
