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.

Is there any erosion on planet Mars?
There are windstorms on the surface of Mars due to the heating of the atmosphere. Therefore, there would be wind erosion on the surface of Mars.
Why does mars have water erosion?
because i say so.
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.
What kind of surface is there no wind erosion?
When there is no wind erosion the surface is cracked all around.The surface is also dry like the surface mars.
Why does Mars have crators?
Mars has craters because the atmosphere is too thin for meteors to burn up in, (as most do before they hit the earth). There are also craters on Mars, because there is almost no erosion on Mars, as there is on earth to cover up the evidence of impact.
Is their any weathering and erosion on Mars?
yes mars has erosion and weathering just the same as on earth.
Is their weathering on Mars?
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.
Why is there no weathering on the surface of mars?
there is
Is there any erosion on planet Mars?
There are windstorms on the surface of Mars due to the heating of the atmosphere. Therefore, there would be wind erosion on the surface of Mars.
What planet has evidence of erosion by water?
Earth and Mars
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.
Can there be water erosion in planets and moons?
yes look at mars there are many trenches from erosion
What are the processes of Mars?
i love clay
Why does mars have water erosion?
because i say so.
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.
Does mar have valleys?
yes mars has valleys made by erosion.
Where did the sand come from on Mars?
Crushed sea shells from millions of years ago.
