A fault in plate tectonics is the line where two plates come together. A well-known and very visible example of this is the San Andreas fault in California.

There are many indications of plate tectonics on Mars?

While there is evidence of tectonic activity in the past, such as volcanic features and fault lines, the overall plate tectonics on Mars are not as active as those on Earth. Some scientists suggest that Mars may have had more active tectonics in its earlier history, but this is still a topic of ongoing research and debate in the scientific community.

How are plates moving at a sliding boundary?

In plate tectonics, a sliding boundary is considered a transform fault where the two merging plates slide past each other in the opposite direction. A great example of a transform fault would be in California along the San Andreas fault line.
