Since Mars lacks plate tectonics, the volcanoes were probaly formed by hot spots. These are areas where extra hot mantle material wells up and collects beneath the crust where some of it melts and rises through the crust to form volcanoes.
No. Mars does not have plate tectonics. The volcanoes on Mars are the result of hot spots.
There is evidence to suggest that there were active volcanoes on Mars in the past, but currently, there are no active volcanoes on the planet. The most famous volcano on Mars is Olympus Mons, which is the largest volcano in the solar system.
There is currently no evidence to suggest that Mars has active volcanoes. However, many of its volcanoes are considered extinct, with evidence of past activity visible on the surface.
Mars.
Yes, several planets in our solar system have volcanoes. For example, Venus has many active volcanoes, Mars has the largest volcano in the solar system called Olympus Mons, and Io, one of Jupiter's moons, is the most volcanically active body in our solar system.
No. The volcanoes of Mars are extinct.
Mars has volcanoes and craters, but not rings.

mars has volcanoes
it has volcanoes, but none are active
The volcanoes are active
What would you expect to find composite volcanoes on Mars? Explain why.
No. Earth (obviously) and Venus have volcanoes as well.
Mars has volcanoes and the biggest volcano in the whole solar system. There are storms too.
yes
