How much affect does the moon have on plate tectonics?
My opinion is very little. The Moon's gravity pulls uniformly on both sides of a tectonic plate.
Are there any evidence that plate tectonics operated on the moon?
no,because the moon is really ugly like some people on this earth
Is there any evidence that plate tectonics operate on the moon?
No. The only object other than Earth that shows evidence of processes similar to plate tetonics is Jupiters 4th largest moon, Europa.
Does gravitational attraction between the Sun the Moon nd the Earth create guyots?
No, it is usually plate tectonics.
Are there plate tectonics on IO moon of Jupiter?
Io certainly has tectonic features, however, these features do not require plate tectonics to explain their formation. Most importantly Io lacks liquid water on its surface which is a requirement for the initiation of plate tectonics. Under dry conditions (a dry rheology) the base of the crust undergoes shear stress which cause it to delaminate, while under a wet rheology the shear stresses with the addition of H2O cause subduction. Io's mountains are the cause of tidal forces from its orbit around Jupiter and the mountains are caused by faulting and tilting of crustal blocks due to subsidence under extreme loads of volcanic loading. All of these point to a conclusion that there is no plate tectonics active on Io.
Does the moon have plate tectonics?
No, the moon does not have plate tectonics like Earth. The moon is a geologically inactive body with a solid, unmoving crust. There is no evidence of plate movements or continental drift on the moon.
Why are the lunar mountains semi-circular instead of linear like the Earth's?
I think its because the lunar mountains are associated with the large circular impact craters found on the moon, whereas on earth we have plate tectonics that from our mountains on the linear plate boundaries.
Are there plate tectonics on the moon?
I don't believe so.

Why can you still see craters on the moon even though they were formed by ancient meteor collisions?
You can still see craters on the moon because there is no atmosphere to erode them away like on Earth. Since the moon lacks geological processes like weathering and plate tectonics, impacts from meteoroids have not been erased over time.
Are there any evidence that plate tectonics operated on the moon?
no,because the moon is really ugly like some people on this earth
What is the major difference between highlands on the moon and the mountains on earth?
Gravity on the moon is one sixth of gravity on the earth, so mountains on the moon can be much taller. Mountains on earth are eroded by wind and water, but on the moon mountains are not eroded.
All of the following are evidence supporting plate tectonics except for A changes in the moon's orbit to shifting plates B hot spots forming island chains C measurement of plate motion D evidenc?
Changes in the moon's orbit do not support plate tectonics. However, evidence such as hot spots forming island chains, measurement of plate motion, and other geological evidence like seafloor spreading and the distribution of fossils support the theory of plate tectonics.
Is there any evidence that plate tectonics operate on the moon?
No. The only object other than Earth that shows evidence of processes similar to plate tetonics is Jupiters 4th largest moon, Europa.
Are there mountains and hills on the moon?
Yes, there are mountains and hills on the moon. Some of the lunar mountains are formed as a result of impacts from meteorites, while others are formed from ancient volcanic activity. These mountains and hills can be found across the lunar surface.
Does the surface of the moon have mountains and craters?
Yes, the surface of the moon has both mountains and craters. The moon's surface is heavily cratered due to impacts from asteroids and comets. Mountains on the moon are primarily formed by volcanic activity in the past.
Does gravitational attraction between the Sun the Moon nd the Earth create guyots?
No, it is usually plate tectonics.
