One reason is that Mars doesn't now because the interior is too cold for the convection currents in the mantle that drive the movement of plates. It is also too cold for a molten core to generate a strong magnetic field to protect the surface form radiation and keeps the atmosphere intact. In the past, Mars might have had a warmer interio with a molten core, and so a strong magnetic field and more geological activity. A reason why Mars wouldn't have plates anyway is the theory that planets less massive than Earth are not massive enough for plates to form. Planets the Earth's size still require a large mass like the Moon for plate tectonics, while larger planets do not necessarily require a large moon.
Why, then, is the inner core solid and the outer core molten instead of the other way around? The inner core of the Earth is solid in spite of the high temperature due to the high pressure. Describe the process of plate tectonics. Give specific examples of geographic features created by plate tectonics. Plate tectonics is the movement of large portions of the crust. The movement is caused by magma squeezing out along the mid-oceanic ridges pushing the plates apart in a process called seafloor spreading. Some geographical features created by plate tectonics include mountain ranges, submarine trenches, island arcs such as Hawaii, and volcanoes.
