What is the main process that is shaping the landscape on mars?
Mars is a cold planet, it is techtonically dead, as its core has cooled its internal convection system no longer drives plate movement and volvcanos such as the gigantic Olympus Mons have been extict and unactive for millions of years. The northern ice cap is mainly CO2 not water, so there is no alluvial action, despite images which clearly show dried up river systems. The main surface sculpting process on Mars is the wind, which picks up the dust which coats the planet. As the core soldified, the magnetic field which protects the planet from the solar wind and ionised particles ejected from the coronal mass, switched off, allowing Mars' atmosphere to leak into space, and leaving Mars with no protection from the cosmic elements.
Does mercury have tectonics?
