No. Smaller planets become geologically dead sooner. A larger planet has a larger volume and thus a larger heat reservoir than a smaller planet and so can remain geologically active for longer.

What factor plays the most important role in a terrestrial planet's geological destiny?

The size of the planet is the most important factor influencing a terrestrial planet's geological destiny. Larger planets have more internal heat from radioactive decay, leading to more geological activity such as volcanism and tectonic movements. Smaller planets cool more quickly and become geologically inactive sooner.


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.
