Why are jovian moons more geologically active than the moon or mercury?
Jovian moons receive heat not only from the Sun but also from tidal forces generated by their parent planet. This continuous energy input from tidal forces causes internal heating, leading to geological activity like volcanism and tectonic movements. In contrast, the Moon and Mercury lack significant tidal heating, which is why they are less geologically active.
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.
Does the moon have valleys?
No, but it does have deep/large creators. Valleys are created by glaciers and a geologically active crust, neither of which the Moon has. Creators from meteor and comet impacts make up the majority of the Moon's surface features.
What is the most volcanic moon in the solar system?
The moon Io is considered very active. It is one of Jupiters moons
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.
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.

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.

Do all jovian planets have active volcano?
No, not all jovian planets have active volcanoes. For example, Jupiter and Saturn do not have active volcanoes. However, some of the moons that orbit these planets, such as Io (a moon of Jupiter), do have active volcanoes.
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 scientist know that the moon was once geologically active?
because they dont exzacly no but they hypothesize
Does the moon have plains?
No, but it does have deep/large creators. Valleys are created by glaciers and a geologically active crust, neither of which the Moon has. Creators from meteor and comet impacts make up the majority of the Moon's surface features.
What is the most geologically active body in the solar system?
Io, the innermost Galilean Moon of Jupiter. Has over 400 active volcanoes.
