There is little to no weathering on Mars due to the very small amount of atmosphere Mars has. Although there is evidence that there may have been weathering there in the past.

Weathering on Mars is primarily caused by wind erosion due to its thin atmosphere. The lack of liquid water limits traditional weathering processes seen on Earth. However, there is evidence of ancient river valleys and fluvial features suggesting past erosion by water.


Are there meteorites on mars?

Yes. The thin atmosphere of Mars and low rates of weathering means that there are probably more intact meteorites on Mars than on Earth.


Would you expect weathering to take place on the Moon Mars and Venus?

Not like on Earth. The moon has no atmosphere, so there is no wind or air at all to cause erosion. However, the moon is bombarded with objects in space that normally would burn up in our atmosphere, resulting in all of the craters that can be seen from the Earth.


What do weathering and erosion processes on Mars involve?

Weathering factors on Mars could include abrasion, hot/cold differentials, frost heave, meteor impact and faulting. Erosional factors would probably be limited to those caused by wind and gravity, although there is some evidence of water erosion.
