What geologic features indicate that plate tectonic activity once occurred in Mars? What features created by t?
According to the source link I posted below, To answer your first question: “The first is the three-mile elevation difference between the northern lowlands and southern highlands, known as the Crustal Dichotomy, which got the name because the highlands and lowlands are underlain by thick and thin crust, respectively. The second feature is the vast area of high elevation with numerous volcanoes near the equator covering a quarter of the Martian surface, known as the Tharsis Rise.” To answer your second question: “For a moment consider the tectonic plates that make up the crust of the Earth, including the way they move around the planet, rising from below as molten rock and dipping back down under the surface to melt and complete the chain. Earth is the only planet known to scientists that has this mechanism for moving huge sections of the planet’s surface great distances. This movement accounts for, among other things, the chain of land masses that form the Hawaiian Islands. As the Paci
