The moon is no longer geologically active because?
it is too small.
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.
How do scientists know that the moon was once geologically active?
because they dont exzacly no but they hypothesize
What if the moon blows up are we going todie?
There is no physically possible way the moon could blow up. In fact, the moon is one of the most geologically "dead" bodies in our solar system. It's volcanic activity is long since over. It occasionally has "moonquakes", but they are mild.
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.
Does the moon have a lithosphere?
Plate tectonics do not occur on the Moon, and is not known to have ever occurred. The mass of the Moon is probably too small for this to occur.
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.

Why is the moon's surface much heavily cratered than earth surface?
The moon has no atmosphere and is geologically inactive.The craters on earth have been eroded by weather, geological events and life
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.
Terrestrial worlds which are considered geologically dead?
2 our moon and mars.
Why have many jovian moons been more geologically active than the moon or mercury?
Unlike Earth's moon and Mercury, the Jovian moons are subject to very strong tidal forces that heat their interiors.
How scientist know that the moon was once geologically active?
because they dont exzacly no but they hypothesize

Does Mercury have landforms?
Mercury has no atmosphere, and its surface is heavily cratered much like Earth's moon. It is estimated that the planet has been geologically dormant for a few billion years.
