As a shield volcano, Olympus Mons resembles the shape of the large volcanoes making up the Hawaiian Islands. The edifice is about 600 km (370 mi) wide. Because the mountain is so large, with complex structure at its edges, allocating a height to the structure is difficult.
A Brief History of the Trail of Tears. Migration from the original Cherokee Nation began in the early 1800âs. Some Cherokees, wary of white encroachment, moved west on their own and settled in other areas of the country.
The description âTrail of Tearsâ is thought to have originated with the Choctaw, the first of the major Southeast tribes to be relocated, starting in 1830. But it is most popularly connected with the October 1838 to March 1839 journey organized by the Cherokee Nation.
