Mars' atmosphere is made mostly of carbon dioxide, much like Venus. It is not as hot as Venus because the Martian atmosphere is extremely thin. Venus has a thick layer of carbon dioxide gas surrounding the planet. This is why it is the hottest planet in the solar system even though it is not the closest to the sun. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas so it has the ability to trap infrared radiation. The atmosphere on Mars is thin and so it will not trap as much heat as the Venusian atmosphere.

natima [27]

Answer:

b) a subduction boundary

Explanation:

The subduction boundaries, or convergent plate boundaries, are the places where the tectonic plates are colliding, and one of them subducts below the other. As one of the plates moves below the other, there's lot of pressure, and cracking occurring in the crust, so the magma manages to penetrate through it and comes out on the surface with ease. As it manages to get on the surface, it lifts up the land, and creates a cone shaped volcano. This volcanoes manage to make a very nice shape, the stereotypical volcano shape, and that is a result of constant pilling of material on the slopes of it. Some of the volcanoes that are regarded as the most beautiful are actually volcanoes of this type, like Mount Fuji in Japan for example.
