Abstract

As a single-plate planet, Mars cannot support large-scale motion of the lithosphere, according to the standard theory of stagnant-lid convection, but such motion is required to explain the position of the Tharsis Rise. Modelling work suggests that differential rotation of the lithosphere can resolve this problem.
