Yes, Mercury has cliffs and cracks on its surface due to tectonic activity that occurred in the past. The formation of these features is linked to the planet's cooling and shrinking over time, causing the surface to crack and form steep cliffs.
Io does have cliffs and cracks but it has been overslain by lava
Yes it does
The cliffs, or scarps, that have been found on Mercury are unlike any of the other planets in the solar system. NASA scientists believe that they formed when the center of the planet cooled, causing it to shrink, creating the cliffs.
Yes, Deimos has cliffs and cracks on its surface. These features are likely the result of impacts and other geological processes that have shaped the moon's terrain over time.
All of the rocky planets can have cliffs - Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.
Mercury is the planet that has craters, cliffs, and a weak magnetic field. Its surface is heavily cratered, and there are large cliffs called scarps. Mercury's magnetic field is about 1% as strong as Earth's magnetic field.

Mercury fits this description, as it has craters, cliffs (known as scarps), and a weak magnetic field. Mercury's magnetic field is only about 1% as strong as Earth's magnetic field.
Yes, it also has volcanoes and ridges. (:
it looks as it has craters and high cliffs. :) ;) '0
Water can penetrate the small pores in gritstone cliffs. When the temperature drops, the water freezes and expands, putting pressure on the rock and causing cracks to form. Over time, repeated cycles of freezing and thawing can widen these cracks, eventually leading to the formation of larger fissures and eventual crumbling of the rock.
