[1] It is about 10.5±1 km high, and was formed by tilting of a crustal block, with subsequent modification by a very large landslide.

At the base of the northern flank is a thick, ridged deposit with rounded margins.

According to them, the mountain is one block of crustal material, due to its polygonal, relatively intact shape.

Schenk and Bulmer argue that this global compression on Io is at least partially relieved by thrust faulting and uplift of large crustal blocks.

If this is true, then Euboea Montes has arguably one of the largest debris aprons in the Solar System, of a size similar to those formed by landslides in Valles Marineris, around Olympus Mons on Mars, or submarine landslides on Earth.
