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.
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.
What is the most geologically active body in the solar system?
Io, the innermost Galilean Moon of Jupiter. Has over 400 active volcanoes.
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.
The moon is no longer geologically active because?
it is too small.
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.
Is deimos geologically active?
Deimos is not geologically active.
How scientist know that the moon was once geologically active?
because they dont exzacly no but they hypothesize

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.
What is the most geologically active of the terrestrial planets and why?
Earth. Why is 1) the moon, 2) rotation rate, 3) liquid core, 4) thin crust.
What is the most important reason why an icy moon is more likely to be geologically active than a rocky moon the same size?
Why are small icy moons more geologically active than small rocky planets?Ices deform and melt at much lower temperatures than rock, allowing icy volcanism and tectonics at surprisingly low temperatures.
