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?
Mercury had volcanic activity but it appears to be dormant nowVenus had volcanic activity but it appears to be dormant nowEarth still has active volcanoesMars had volcanic activity but it appears to be dormant nowIo - a moon of Jupiter is the most volcanically active object in our Solar System with over 400 active volcanoes.
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.
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.
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
What evidence do astronomers have that water once flowed on Mars?
Evidence from satellites in orbit and rovers on Mars show features like dried up riverbeds. Surveys on the surface have also found minerals that can only form in water.

Does Jupiter show evidence of volcanic activity?
No. Jupiter is a gas planet. It has no surface on which volcanoes might form.
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.

Do other things in space have earthquakes?
If the planet or other form have plates on the surface, that is to say floating on a molten mantle, then yes they can have earthquakes. Both Mars and Venus have volcanoes so there is almost certainly seismic activity. Quite a few moons of Jupiter and Saturn show evidence of seismic activity. Seismometers left on the Moon by Apollo astronauts regularly detect seismic activity. Remember, earthquakes are a vibration of the earth's materials. This may be caused by tectonic processes, by volcanic activity, or even by a major impact.

Is there water under the mars surface?
there is evidence to show that there may, but we are still uncertain at the present time.
What types of data from the missions launched in 2003 show evidence of water on Mars?
The photographs from the robots.
What evidence do astronomers have that water flows on Mars?
Evidence from satellites in orbit and rovers on Mars show features like dried up riverbeds. Surveys on the surface have also found minerals that can only form in water.
