No. Mars has cooled so that i can no longer produce magma.

Why is Mars no longer geologically active?
Because mars no longer has magma on the inside of its core like our earth does, therefore no "Active" volcanoes.
What mars look like inside?
Mars has a magma core with millions and millions of layers of rocks and sediments, just like what Earth has.
A meteorite found in Antarctica is thought to come from mars how could a rock from Mars get to earth?
It could be a number of things like a volcano erupted and shot the magma or it could have bounced off mars
Does Mars have lava?
Mars does not have lava, but probably has magma due to radioactive decay.
What is Mars surface made of magma rock or water?
Mars' surface is mainly rock, with ice on its north and south poles. The rock is covered in iron oxide, which gives it its distinct red color.
What magma is silica-rich thick magma?
An acid magma or a granitic magma.
What is jupiters geosphere like?
Mars' geosphere (or lithosphere) is dry, cold and arid. Like the Earth's lithosphere, the Martian lithosphere is the not-so-rigid part of the crust of Mars which is cooler than the interior of Mars somewhat like the foam on top of a cup of hot cocoa. On Earth, the lithosphere can be pushed in response to the warmth of the Earth. Warm magma rises to the very surface and pushes the cooler, rocky lithosphere aside. The lithosphere then subducts, melts, and becomes part of the warm rising magma again. Thus on Earth, the recycling of the lithosphere keeps the lithosphere from becoming too thick. Unlike the Earth, the rocky material which comprises the lithosphere of Mars does not contain enough trapped water to allow the rocky material to slide against each other. Since portions of the rocky material cannot slide against each other, the lithosphere cannot make way for hot, rising magma from the interior of Mars. Thus the lithosphere stays in place and thickens by cooling gradually. So it is that Mars does not have plates moving on the surface.
What is the name for molten rock when its under the ground?
Molten rock under the surface is called "magma". When magma reaches the surface it is called "lava".
What is most magma?
magma
What is the cavity where magma is stored under a volcano called?
This is called the magma chamber.
What name is given to molten rock underground?
Magma is a type of molten rock underground. Hope this helps. :)
Is cool magma sinking and warm magma convection?
When cool magma sinks and warm magma rises, yes that is convection.
