Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Folded mountain chains are produced by the collision of moving tectonic plates. If such features were found on Mars, it would suggest that the planet's crust is divided into moving plates like those on Earth. The other options (giant impact basins, massive volcanoes, dry river beds and sea floors) do not necessarily imply plate tectonics.
