The article “Plate Tectonics…on Mars” written by Ron Cowen, was about how the magnetic map revealed ancient activity on Mars. At first the scientists first anticipated the movement in 1912, but wasn’t established until the late 1960’s. Plate tectonics are the theory that explains the tectonic behavior of the crust of the Earth in terms of several moving plates that are formed by volcanic activity at oceanic ridges and destroyed along great ocean trenches.
As with many scientific advances, the plate tectonic theory was not fully conceptualized until a basis of
