Since Mars lacks plate tectonics, the volcanoes were probaly formed by hot spots. These are areas where extra hot mantle material wells up and collects beneath the crust where some of it melts and rises through the crust to form volcanoes.

Do other planets have volcanoes?
The planets other than Earth on which we have observed volcanoes are Venus and Mars. These planets are made of the same materials to Earth and formed by the same processes. Therefore, like Earth, they have hot interiors that can produce molten rock. Mars may have cooled enough that the volcanoes it has no longer erupt.

What are ice volcanoes?
Ice volcanoes cone formed when waves build up and break onto the ice shelf, but continue to travel under the ice. The pressure forces the water through cracks and previously formed cones.
