Plate tectonics give Earth its mountains, earthquakes, continental drift and maybe even helped give rise to life itself. But do other planets in the solar system have them too?

But a catalog of what's present on Mars doesn't give us answers to ... with ideas that range from an abortive early form of plate-tectonics to various planet-shaping impact scenarios.

NASA’s Perseverance rover is making history by collecting handpicked Martian samples for future return to Earth. Scientists are eager to study these specimens to unlock secrets about Mars’ ancient ...
