Best Answer

Volcanoes are a special feature on Mars because they suggest that plate tectonics may have played a part in shaping Mars' geology in the past. There are volcano chains on mars similar to Hawaiian island chain. The chain of volcanoes is created from a hot spot underneath the plates as the plate moves across the hot spot a new volcano is formed until the plate moves again to create a new location for yet another volcano all of which are in a chain
