Yes. In fact, scientists have found meteorites here on Earth that appear to be pieces blasted off the surface of Mars when some much larger object hit it!

Some meteorites that fell on Earth have been identified as having come from what other planet?
The composition and physical properties of some meteorites suggest that they were hurled into space by a larger collision on the surface of the planet Mars.
Are meteorite hit other planet?
Meteorites hit other planets all the time. In fact, earth get hit the least (about twice every millenium).
Why is it important to identify the gases trapped inside mars meteorites?
The trapped gases identify the meteorites as Martian in the first place, because their abundance closely matches the gases identified by probes on Mars. The gas composition would also be based on the constituents of the Martian atmosphere (and possibly the planetary crust) at the time the meteors were ejected from the Martian surface. Compared to the current conditions on Mars, this could also give an indication of how the Martian climate and geology has been changing over time.
Does Mars have geographic features if so what kind?
Yes, Mars has many mountains including one of the tallest peaks including Olympus Mon which is three times taller than Mount Everest. It has craters from numerous hits from meteorites.
Why is it important to indentify the gases trapped inside mars meteorites?
The trapped gases identify the meteorites as Martian in the first place, because their abundance closely matches the gases identified by probes on Mars. The gas composition would also be based on the constituents of the Martian atmosphere (and possibly the planetary crust) at the time the meteors were ejected from the Martian surface. Compared to the current conditions on Mars, this could also give an indication of how the Martian climate and geology has been changing over time.
What is the significance of carbonate in meteorites from Mars?
The significance of carbonate in meteorites from Mars is that they contain water.
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 is the significance of carbonate in meteorites?
The significance of carbonate in meteorites from Mars is that they contain water.
What are the two types of meteorites that hit earth?
Stony and iron meteorites hit earth.
Why do they say the Morocco meteorites come from mars?
From Wikipedia, article "Martian meteorite": These meteorites are thought to be from Mars because they have elemental and isotopic compositions that are similar to rocks and atmosphere gases analyzed by spacecraft on Mars.
What is the diameter of meteorites?
The diameter of meteorites varies greatly, from the size of a grain of sand to the size of Mars (speculated).
Do meteorites bombard Mars?
Yes. The Mars probes have photographed a meteorite on the surface of Mars. See related link below.
How do Martian meteors leave Mars?
Martian meteorites were ejected from the surface of Mars during massive asteroid and comet impacts.
What is these thing that make up a belt between mars and Jupiter?
Meteorites formation.
What are rocks that hit the earth?
meteorites are rocks that hit the earth meteors have not
What things from space that start with m?
*Mars *Meteorites *Mercury *Milky Way *Moons
Are all meteorites magnetic?
Meteorites fall into two classes, stony and iron. There is a belt of meteoric material near Mars, from which many of our meteorites come. Perhaps the debris from a broken planet? The iron meteorites, in fact iron-nickel mixtures, are magnetic. the stony meteorites are not. Have a look for Bode's Law in a reference source.
