Do other planets have tetonic plates?

Question

Do other planets in our solar system have tetonic plates like Earth? I know that we cannot tell for exo-system planets, but for the ones at home.

Sources, pleaase.

Answer 1

yes ones with multin cores........

Answer 2

Currently, no. The Earth is the only planet to have plate tectonics today.

Plate tectonics may have been on Mars very long ago. There is also some evidence that Venus had plate tectonics millions of years ago.

Answer 3

Any planet that had a liquid core at one time had earthquakes caused by the shifting of the tectonic plates.
There are very few planents/satelites in our solar system that are still active however. Those being (off the top of my head). Earth, venus, io (1 of jupiters satelites, and currently the most active planet in the solar system (even more so then earth, which is second), tritan, and possibly titan...
If anyone knows of any that i left out, please post them.

Answer 5

purely a be conscious to characteristic they are additionally laid low with the Earths spinning action effectively making a bulge around the equator making the earth 14km wider in the time of than at its poles. yet another component is the gravitational results of the sunlight, as we orbit it, slightly like the moons result on the oceans, it creates a tidal result.

Answer 6

any planet with a molten core and a solid cruust will have tectonic plates.
