  • Yes I agree Mars probably had plate tectonics and I aelrted a Nasa person years ago( 2004) that the tharsis region,4 volcanos seemed to have shifted over time because the 3 smaller volcanos had older holes /extincted versions right next to them within a few kilometers in a symetrical pattern.So the volcanos shifted to one side over time.To me that indicated plate shifting and is second to Valles Marineris as a plate indictor/evidence/remnant.
