Title: What evidence is there that plate tectonics may have occurred in very early times on Mars? Post by: doit_the_clown on Mar 17, 2017 What evidence is there that plate tectonics may have occurred in very early times on Mars?
A) Magnetic fields at the surface of Mars show interlocking patterns similar to those in regions where plates are separating on the Earth. B) There are several highly eroded systems of folded mountain ranges and linear troughs, similar to regions of plate collision on the Earth. C) “Fossilized” rift valleys have been discovered by ground-penetrating radar, under the blanket of dust and lava of Mars's surface. D) Interconnecting patterns of strike-slip faults in the volcanic northern hemisphere of Mars are similar to those where tectonic plates are sliding past each other on the Earth.
