Tectonics of Mars
Like the Earth, the crustal properties and structure of the surface of Mars are thought to have evolved through time; in other words, as on Earth, tectonic processes have shaped the planet.
Extensional tectonics
concerned with the structures formed by, and the tectonic processes associated with, the stretching of a planetary body's crust or lithosphere.
