Which of the terrestrial planets including the moon are considered to still be geologically active?
Earth is the only geologically active planet among the terrestrial planets. There are some geologically active moons in orbit around the gas giants. Enceladus is quite an interesting moon of Saturn.
The moon is no longer geologically active because?
it is too small.
Which of the Galilean moons has volcanic activity?
Of the four main moons of Jupiter called the Galilean Moons, only two are geologically active. Io is the most clearly geologically active with hundreds of volcanoes that frequently erupt. Europa is the second moon that's geologically active as evidenced by its smooth icy surface suggesting a warm liquid ocean underneath.
What are the 'seas' of the moon full of?
The lunar 'seas' are flat plains made up of dried volcanic rock which were orignially lava when the moon was geologically active.
How do scientists know about the moon?
You can see the moon in the sky, and scientists have sent people to the moon already.

Is the moon an active planet?
The Moon is not a planet, it, as the name suggest, is a moon.It is not geologically active anymore.

Why are craters preserved on the moon but not on earth?
Earth is geologically active and has wind and water to erode craters. The moon is geologically dead and has no atmosphere and thus no erosion. There is nothing on the moon to destroy impact craters.

Europa is the second moon that's geologically active as evidenced by its smooth icy surface suggesting a warm liquid ocean underneath.
What is the most geologically active body in the solar system?
Io, the innermost Galilean Moon of Jupiter. Has over 400 active volcanoes.
What are the 'seas' of the moon full of?
The lunar 'seas' are flat plains made up of dried volcanic rock which were orignially lava when the moon was geologically active.
How do scientists know about the moon?

What is the most important reason why an icy moon is more likely to be geologically active than a rocky moon of the same size?
Ice has a lower melting point than rock.
Does the moon have valleys?
No, but it does have deep/large creators. Valleys are created by glaciers and a geologically active crust, neither of which the Moon has. Creators from meteor and comet impacts make up the majority of the Moon's surface features.
