its because mars is more tectonically active

Which areas are greater-those affected by earthquakes or those affected by volcanoes?
Earthquakes because they have no warning, and effect much larger ares of land.Volcanoes aren't the answer because you can get out of the waymuch faster and most of the time you will have a warning (sign) before it actually happens.---- Date: March, 20, 2013 ----
Does earth's moon have active volcanoes?
Seismic events on the moon are naturally called moonquakes, not earthquakes. They occur, but are less common and less powerful than those on Earth. The moon has no volcanoes since the magma that was under its surface long ago solidified.
Do igneous rocks have smaller crystals than those formed above the surface?
Igneous rocks formed within the earth crust have larger crystals than those formed on the surface because they have little or no interaction with atmospheric conditions and they cool very slowly.
Is there any volcanoes at the jungle?
There are volcanoes in the jungle. It just depends on what part of the jungle you are in. Many of those volcanoes are still erupting today. So, the answer is yes.
Are there volcano's on Venus?
There is very little active volcanism on Venus, but many landforms of volcanic origin, such as lava plains, plateaus, ridges, and domes. Almost all of the volcanoes seen on the planet are extinct or dormant. Compared to volcanoes on Earth, those on Venus tend to be flatter but much wider. They are seldom seen over 1.5 kilometers in height, but some shield-type volcanoes cover hundreds of square kilometers in area. Venus does not have plate movement, which causes volcanoes on Earth. The driving force is likely heat rising from hot spots in the mantle, as is seen in some volcanic seamounts on Earth.
What is the difference of earth volcanoes to other planets volcanoes?
Most volcanoes on Earth are associated with boundaries of tectonic plates while those that we have seen on other planets are probably from hot spots. Earth's volcanoes also seem more prone to explosive eruptions, primarily due to the abundance of water on Earth.

How are mars and earth volcano alike?
Like Earth, Venus has volcanic mountains and other features that are probably made of thin, runny lava, on Venus the volcanos sometimes spew out sulfur into the atmosphere, although there is no proof Venus is volcanically active, scientists believe it most likely is. On Mars there are large shields of volcanoes similar to those on Venus and Earth,as well as cone-shaped volcanoes and lava flows, some of these volcaoes are significantly bigger than Earth's volcanoes, such as Olympus Mons, which is 3 times the size of Mount Everest, but none of these are volcanically active.
How much percent of the earth is covered by the mantel?
Almost 0%. The only parts of the mantel which cover the earth are those areas where volcanoes are actively pushing lava to the surface. The earth is covered by what is referred to as the "Earth's Crust."
Why are Earth's volcanoes different from those on most other planets?
Every planet has a different terrain and a different set of tectonic plates.
Does earth's moon have active volcanoes?
Seismic events on the moon are naturally called moonquakes, not earthquakes. They occur, but are less common and less powerful than those on Earth. The moon has no volcanoes since the magma that was under its surface long ago solidified.
Where is the youngest rock found in the earth's crust?
The youngest rocks in the crust are found on and near active volcanoes, such as those at mid-ocean ridges.
What are the only two members of the solar system known to have active volcanoes?
The Earth and Io a moon of Jupiter. This does not include those moons with erupting geysers.
Where is the youngest rock found in the earth's crust found?
The youngest rocks in the crust are found on and near active volcanoes, such as those at mid-ocean ridges.
How do volcanoes erupt on the Earth's surface?
A rising plume of liquid rock (also known as magma) can reach the surface from the underlying mantle. There are also volcanoes which explode due to the pressure of water vapor, when porous rocks contain water, and these rocks are heated by magma. Those are called boiler volcanoes.
How many volcanoes are in south America?
There are several hundred volcanoes that are in South America. Of those volcanoes, there are between 200 and 300 that are active.
What features of the African elephant are larger than those of an ndian elephant?
The ears because they are larger than the Indian elephants ears
