What planet is the most geologically active of the terrestrial planets?

If you meant all terrestrial bodies (including moons) Its io (io has the least amount of water). If you meant terrestrial planets (only planets) its venus and earth they both have an active core


Does the terrestrial planets have more moons than the outer planets?

Oh no, it is the outer planets which have the most moons. Terrestrial planets such as Earth have relatively few moons.


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 4 terrestrial planets has the most gravity?

Earth is the largest and most massive of the four inner or terrestrial planets. Its surface gravity is therefore the highest of the four.


The most obvious difference between the terrestrial and the jovian planets is?

The most obvious difference between terrestrial and jovian planets is their composition. Terrestrial planets are rocky and dense, while jovian planets are mostly composed of gases and lack a solid surface. Additionally, jovian planets are typically larger in size and have extensive ring systems.


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 is the most geologically active body in the solar system?

Io, the innermost Galilean Moon of Jupiter. Has over 400 active volcanoes.


What planet has the highest surface gravity of all the terrestrial planets?

Earth is the most massive terrestrial planet, so it has the highest surface gravity.


What tectonic plate is the most active in the world?

What is the most obvious difference between the terrestrial and the Jovian planets?

The greatest difference is in their size. Gas giants are large but have a very low average density (much of their size includes their atmospheres). From a physical standpoint, terrestrial (rocky) planets have a solid exterior surface. Jovian (gas giant) planets instead exhibit a smooth range of increasing density, and do not have the abrupt change to solidity that terrestrial planets exhibit.


Which terrestrial planet is largest?

There are four terrestrial planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Of these planets, Earth is the largest and Mercury is the smallest.


Of the terrestrial planets which has the most clouds?

Venus has the most clouds among the terrestrial planets. Its thick atmosphere is composed mostly of carbon dioxide with clouds primarily made of sulfuric acid droplets. These clouds contribute to Venus having a permanent overcast sky.
