You’ve been selected to be part of the first astronaut team to go to Mars. While your two fellow crew members descend to the Martian surface, you’ll be staying in the command module and circling the Red Planet. As part of the geologic investigation of Mars, one of the crew members will be mapping the geology around the landing site and deciphering the geologic history of the area. Your job will be to observe and photograph the planet’s surface and try to determine whether Mars had an active plate tectonic regime in the past and whether there is current plate movement. What features would you look for, and what evidence might reveal current or previous plate activity?
