Yes, there is evidence for extraterrestrial plate tectonics on some celestial bodies, particularly on Earth-like planets and moons. For instance, researchers have observed tectonic-like features on Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, where its ice shell exhibits fracturing and potential movement. Similarly, Mars shows signs of past tectonic activity, including rift valleys and faults. However, definitive evidence of active plate tectonics, akin to Earth's, remains elusive beyond our planet.
What else can I help you with?
What are some evidence of plate tectonics?
The ring of fire.
Is there evidence for extraterrestrial plate tectonics if so where?
Yes, there is evidence for extraterrestrial plate tectonics on several celestial bodies, most notably on Earth’s neighbors like Mars and some of Jupiter's moons, such as Europa. Mars exhibits features resembling tectonic fault lines and rift valleys, suggesting past tectonic activity. Europa is believed to have a subsurface ocean beneath its icy crust, with geological features indicating potential tectonic processes. Additionally, Venus displays large-scale tectonic features, though its processes may differ from those on Earth.
Which of these does NOT provide some evidence for plate tectonics?
We don't answer questions from printed/copyrighted materials.
What geographical features provide evidence for plate tectonics?
Submarine mountain ranges, like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and deep oceanic trenches, such as the Mariana Trench, are evidence for plate tectonics. Earthquakes and volcanic activity along plate boundaries also support the theory of plate movement. Additionally, the distribution of rock types, fossils, and ancient climate indicators across continents provide further evidence for plate tectonics.
Does ganymede shows evidence of ancient plate tectonics?
Yes, Ganymede shows evidence of ancient plate tectonics, including grooved terrain that may be related to the movement of tectonic plates. This suggests that Ganymede's icy surface has experienced significant geological activity in the past.
Does seismologic evidence support plate tectonics?
yes it represets plate tectonics
What is evidence for plate tectonics?
Coriolis effect.
Is there evidence of plate tectonics on Venus?
There is no conclusive evidence of plate tectonics on Venus. Although Venus does have tectonic features such as fractures and faults, they do not show the same pattern of movement and subduction observed on Earth. Additionally, Venus lacks evidence of large-scale crustal recycling associated with plate tectonics.

Additionally, Venus displays large-scale tectonic features, though its processes may differ from those on Earth.
Does the moon have plate tectonics?
No, the moon does not have plate tectonics like Earth. The moon is a geologically inactive body with a solid, unmoving crust. There is no evidence of plate movements or continental drift on the moon.
What forms of evidence were used to help gather evidence for the existence of pangaea?
Plate tectonics led to the theory of Pangaea.
All of the following are evidence supporting plate tectonics except for A changes in the moon's orbit to shifting plates B hot spots forming island chains C measurement of plate motion D evidenc?
Changes in the moon's orbit do not support plate tectonics. However, evidence such as hot spots forming island chains, measurement of plate motion, and other geological evidence like seafloor spreading and the distribution of fossils support the theory of plate tectonics.
What are some features of the ocean floor that provide evidence for plate tectonics?
they found fossils

What can minerals in rocks show that provide evidence for plate tectonics?
I can't find it in my packet either.
