Mars vs. Earth: Volcanic Activity Redefines Planetary Evolutionbr br Description:br The ancient volcanoes of Mars are offering groundbreaking insights into the geological history of both the Red Planet and Earth. Unlike Earth, Mars lacks plate tectonics, which on our planet drive volcanic activity through heat and crustal recycling. However, recent research suggests that Mars experienced a form of crustal recycling known as vertical tectonics.br br In essence, the study of ancient Martian volcanoes is not just rewriting the story of Mars; it’s also shedding light on the early chapters of Earth’s geological narrative, offering new perspectives on the evolution of rocky planets in our solar system.
