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.
