ad The eruptive vent of Apollinaris Mons is located at 174.4°E, −8.5°S. As the mass eruption rate is varied, other parameters are fixed at baseline conditions as listed in Table 2. Modeled distributions are overlaid onto a cylindrical projection of Mars. Black lines represent MOLA topographic contours, with numbers indicating contour elevations in kilometers. Ice fields represent resulting distributions at the end of the eruption.
