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?
Scientists know that the moon was once geologically active because it has features such as volcanic plains, volcanic structures, and lava tubes. These features suggest past volcanic activity and tectonic processes. Additionally, moon rocks collected during the Apollo missions show evidence of volcanic activity.
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.
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.
Is the moon still volcanic?
No, the moon is no longer volcanic. The volcanic activity that formed the moon's surface features, such as its craters and basins, occurred billions of years ago. Today, the moon is geologically inactive.
How scientist know that the moon was once geologically active?
because they dont exzacly no but they hypothesize
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.
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.
How do scientists know that the moon was once geologically active?
Scientists know that the moon was once geologically active because it has features such as volcanic plains, volcanic structures, and lava tubes. These features suggest past volcanic activity and tectonic processes. Additionally, moon rocks collected during the Apollo missions show evidence of volcanic activity.
What is the most geologically active body in the solar system?
Io, the innermost Galilean Moon of Jupiter. Has over 400 active volcanoes.

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 moving plates or active volcano's?
The moon does not have tectonic plates like Earth, so it does not experience plate movement. However, there is evidence of past volcanic activity on the moon in the form of ancient lava flows and volcanic features. Currently, the moon is considered geologically inactive in terms of volcanic eruptions.
Is the moon still volcanic?
No, the moon is no longer volcanic. The volcanic activity that formed the moon's surface features, such as its craters and basins, occurred billions of years ago. Today, the moon is geologically inactive.
What does The moon is geologically dead mean?
Because it is cold, has no atmosphere and no water then there is no geological change ie There are no tectonic plates There are no volcanos There is no wind erosion There is no frost erosion There are no rivers and therefore no water erosion There is no change due to living organisms eg sedimentation
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.
