It is geologically dead because all the volcanoes seem to be extinct.
Also, there is no tectonic plate activity on Mars.
Also, there is no liquid water. So, there's not much to cause sedimentary rock deposits, apart from the winds of the thin atmosphere.
However, there is some evidence that Mars is not totally "dead".
Possibly there are still 'quakes (called Marsquakes instead of Earthquakes.)

Is Mars a desert?
No it is not a desert. It is actually the oxygen and radiation that causes the surface and atmosphere to turn red. Basically Mars is a dead planet.
Where might an astronaut look for water on Mars?
At the poles of Mars.
Is the reflection on the moon the continents?
No, they are physical features of the moon itself. The dark areas are geologically younger, and the light areas are older and at a higher elevation.
When did the three Mars rovers get on Mars?
There have been four successful rover landings on Mars. Two of those rovers are still operational.Sojourner landed on Mars on July 4, 1997.Spirit landed on Mars on January 4, 2004.Opportunity landed on Mars on January 25, 2004.Curiosity landed on Mars on August 10, 2012.As of November 2016 Opportunity and Curiosity are still operational.
What is the duration of Roving Mars?
The duration of Roving Mars is 2400.0 seconds.
Terrestrial worlds which are considered geologically dead?
2 our moon and mars.
How often Do the volcanoes in mars erupt?
Mars is geologically dead. It did have volcanic eruptions in the past, but these ceased about 1.8 billion years ago
Does lava flow on Mars?
No, not any more. Mars is geologically dead, meaning it no longer supports volcanic activity among other things.
Is it likely for the Olympus Mons to erupt in front of tourist?
Seeing as Olympus Mons is on Mars, and there won't be any tourists on Mars for quite some time, answer would have to be NO. Mars is also likely geologically dead at this point, so it is unlikely that Olympus Mons will ever erupt again. (Though, recent data suggests that Mars may not be dead yet.)
What does it mean when you say Mercury is geologically dead?
The moon, Mercury, and Mars are all so small that over time they have lost much of their internal heat and have become geologically dead. Unlike the Earth which is geologically alive, mercury has no tectonic or core activity. There are no tectonic plates There are no volcanos There is no wind erosion There is no frost erosion There are no rivers and therefore no water erosion There is no change due to living organisms eg sedimentation
Why is Mars no longer geologically active?
Because mars no longer has magma on the inside of its core like our earth does, therefore no "Active" volcanoes.
Does mercury have tectonics?
No. Mercury is, for the most part, geologically dead.
Do bigger planet become geologically dead sooner than small planets?
No. Smaller planets become geologically dead sooner. A larger planet has a larger volume and thus a larger heat reservoir than a smaller planet and so can remain geologically active for longer.
When will Earth become geologically inactive?
in aprox 2.5 billion years due to the solidification of earth molten core, unlike mars who's core has already solidifyed resulting in the dead planet we see today
What if there was no magma in the Earth composition?
Then, Earth would have been geologically dead.
Did Bruno mar die?
As of 2021 Bruno Mars is not dead i repeat not dead
Did Mercury have eruptions observed?
No. Mercury is essentially geologically dead and has been for billions of years.
