How do scientists know that the moon was once geologically active?
because they dont exzacly no but they hypothesize
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.
Are there moon quakes on the moon?
The moon does not have moon quakes; it appears to be 'geologically' dead. The moon's core is smaller in proportion than is earth's core. At one time the moon was volcanically active, but it is no longer. It has cooled sufficiently so that internal energy is no longer sufficient to produce such activity.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
What does saying a planet is geologically active mean?
It describes the ongoing changes to the surfaces of terrestrial worlds. This is because terrestrial surfaces change over time. The moon and mercury are considered geologically dead because their surfaces have remained the same for billions of years.
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.
