Best Answer

The moon, Mercury, and Mars are all so small that over time they have lost much of their internal heat and have become geologically dead.

Unlike the Earth which is geologically alive, mercury has no tectonic or core activity.

There are no tectonic plates

There are no volcanos

There is no wind erosion

There is no frost erosion

There are no rivers and therefore no water erosion

There is no change due to living organisms eg sedimentation
