There is evidence of past volcanic activity but no current activity. Mars is geologically dead.
The shield volcano, Olympus Mons (Mount Olympus), at 26 km is the highest known mountain in the Solar System. It is an extinct volcano in the vast upland region Tharsis, which contains several other large volcanoes. It is over three times the height of Mount Everest which in comparison stands at just over 8.8 km.

What planets show evidence of heavy volcanic activity?
Mars, Earth and Venus, certainly; the tallest volcano in the solar system is on Mars. And Jupiter's moon Io may be the most active body in the solar system when it comes to volcanoes; some of the eruptions go into space!
Which of the inner planets does NOT show evidence of volcanic activity?
none. Mars Earth and Venus have relatively thick atmospheres. it was long assumed that Mercury did not have an atmosphere but a very thin atmosphere around the planet. Mercury's atmosphere is composed of: 42%O2 29%Na 22%H2 06%He 00.5%K
Is there volcanic activity on Callisto?
The surface of Callisto is heavily cratered and extremely old. It does not show any sign of volcanic activity.
How do scientists know that the moon was once geologically active?
Scientists know that the moon was once geologically active because it has features such as volcanic plains, volcanic structures, and lava tubes. These features suggest past volcanic activity and tectonic processes. Additionally, moon rocks collected during the Apollo missions show evidence of volcanic activity.
What evidence is there for volcanism on other planets and moons in the solar system?
Our moon has fields of cooled magma coating the surface, which are the dark spots we see on earth. Jupiter's moon Io the most volcanically active body in the solar system, we've observed that during satellite fly-bys.

Does Jupiter show evidence of volcanic activity?
No. Jupiter is a gas planet. It has no surface on which volcanoes might form.
What planets have evidence of volcanic activity?
In our solar system? Interesting question. Mercury is inactive rock. Venus is fiery. It may be volcanically active, but we haven't observed any eruptions. Earth has about 700 active volcanoes at the moment. Mars is inactive. The rest are gaseous planets - who knows what goes on at their core surfaces, if they even have one. Io is a moon orbiting Jupiter which has some spectacular volcanoes - check it out.
How can earthquakes be used to show evidence of volcanic activity?
Earthquakes can indicate volcanic activity because magma moving beneath the Earth's surface can generate seismic activity. As magma rises and interacts with the surrounding rock, it can create pressure and stress that lead to earthquakes. By monitoring the location and intensity of these earthquakes, scientists can infer the movement of magma and potential volcanic activity.
How does volcanic activity relate to science?
volcanic activity deals with how volcanoes erupt and when they are, but it can also show the structures of a volcano.
Is there volcanic activity on Callisto?
The surface of Callisto is heavily cratered and extremely old. It does not show any sign of volcanic activity.
Are there any evidence of volcanic activity on Saturn?
There is no evidence of volcanic activity on Saturn itself. However, some of Saturn's moons, such as Enceladus and Titan, show evidence of past or present volcanic activity with features like ice volcanoes or cryovolcanoes releasing water or methane rather than molten rock.

What evidence is there that water has been flowing on Mars recently?
NASA photographs of Mars are the best evidence that water has been flowing on Mars recently. During warmer periods in Mars' atmosphere, the photographs show streaks that look like streams. Scientists agree that this is evidence of water on Mars.
