Difference between Mars Global Surveyor and Plate tectonics

Mars Global Surveyor vs. Plate tectonics

Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) was an American robotic spacecraft developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and launched November 1996. Plate tectonics (from the Late Latin tectonicus, from the τεκτονικός "pertaining to building") is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of seven large plates and the movements of a larger number of smaller plates of the Earth's lithosphere, since tectonic processes began on Earth between 3 and 3.5 billion years ago.

Similarities between Mars Global Surveyor and Plate tectonics

Mars Global Surveyor and Plate tectonics have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Equator, Magnetic field, Magnetometer, Mars, NASA, Sun, Tharsis, Valles Marineris, Volcano.

Equator

An equator of a rotating spheroid (such as a planet) is its zeroth circle of latitude (parallel).

Magnetic field

A magnetic field is a vector field that describes the magnetic influence of electrical currents and magnetized materials.

Magnetometer

A magnetometer is an instrument that measures magnetism—either the magnetization of a magnetic material like a ferromagnet, or the direction, strength, or relative change of a magnetic field at a particular location.

Valles Marineris

Valles Marineris (Latin for Mariner Valleys, named after the Mariner 9 Mars orbiter of 1971–72 which discovered it) is a system of canyons that runs along the Martian surface east of the Tharsis region.

Volcano

A volcano is a rupture in the crust of a planetary-mass object, such as Earth, that allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface.
