Another theory that’s gotten some press lately is that the volcano initially formed under a mile or more of ice, much like the shield volcanoes in Iceland. This can (apparently; I’m a geology hobbyist at best) lead to those steep reliefs. Here’s the original paper discussing the theory. I know I’ve seen some recent publications showing more evidence that’s come from the latest Mars missions, but I can’t seem to find them at the moment.
