Why does mars have one of the largest volcanoes in the solar system?

Mars has very low movement of their tectonic plates. The lack of movement allows the Martian crust to remain fixed in place over a magma hotspot allowing repeated, large lava flows.  That Large lava come along the edge and then converts into largest volcanoes in the solar system

Hope this helps!

They had strained relationships with colonists but good relationships with american indians
