Yes, they do.


Does Mars have volcanic craters?

AnswerThere is extensive evidence of past volcanic activity on Mars in the form of extinct volcanoes, the most famous of which is Olympus Mons, the highest known mountain in the Solar System. However, there is no current volcanic activity on Mars and it is apparent that Mars has undergone a cooling process, leading to all volcanic activity ceasing.There is extensive evidence of past volcanic activity on Mars in the form of extinct volcanoes, the most famous of which is Olympus Mons, the highest known mountain in the Solar System.

No, not any more. Mars is geologically dead, meaning it no longer supports volcanic activity among other things.

Have there been any eruptions observed on mars?

No. There's some evidence of recent (geologically speaking, this means within the last ten million years or so) lava flows, but we have never observed any active volcanic eruptions on Mars. Some areologists (think geologists, except specializing in Mars rather than Earth) think volcanic activity is still possible on Mars, others think that Mars' volcanoes are now extinct (the mountains created by them still exist, of course; Olympus Mons is the solar system's largest known volcanic feature).


Is Mars broken up into moving tectonic plates?

While it is currently unknown, many scientists believe that Mars is broken into tectonic plates. However, due to extended periods of inactivity, the plates froze up, which is probably the reason why there is no volcanic activity on Mars currently. However, there was volcanic activity before due to the number of giant volcanoes such as Olympus Mons.
