re: Where are the volcanos?

I thought of Tephra as well. As for volcanoes, most probably of the ancient and filled kind (I've posted this before):

Note that most of the Hematite shown in Red is in between what they estimate to be volcanoes/domes:

Was there a reservoir of trapped water ice there at one time and/or water above it?

I wish Opportunity could travel/last long enough to find out. First, they have to use the RAT on that bedrock. The answers to this area are in the layers.

I'm not choosing sides here, just saying that there are still plenty of theories that are yet to be proven or disproven.

I wish they'd get to the drilling part soon.
