Why does the moon has many craters but the Earth has few?
Earth is geologically active with volcanoes, tectonic plates, and has a substantial atmosphere, moving water, and glaciers. These forces are constantly changing Earth's surface. Impact craters get eroded, buried, and outright erased. The moon has no significant geologic activity, no atmosphere, and no water. As a result craters on the moon can remain almost untouched for billions of years.
Which of the jupiters moon is volcanically active?
Jupiter's volcanically active moon is Io.it has more than 400 active volcanoes
Do Venus have the most volcanoes?
In our solar system three planets (including Earth) and one moon have volcanoes. Planets outside our solar system are too far away to observe, but one similar to Earth probably have volcanoes too.
Is there any volcanoes on the moon?
There are no active volcanoes on the our moon.
What is an active moon?
Although there is no definite definition of an active moon, the consensus is that it it is a moon that changes quickly (astronomically) over time. The two main active moons are Io and Enceladus where observed changes take place, others are Europa and possibly Titan.
Does the moon have moving plates?
No, the moon does not have moving plates like Earth. The moon does experience some tectonic activity, but it is not driven by plate movements. Instead, the moon's tectonic activity is mainly caused by its cooling and shrinking over time.
What other bodies in the solar system are thought to possess active volcanoes?
There are two bodies in the solar system that posses active volcanos. One is Venus, the second planet from the sun. Another is Jupiter's moon Io. Io has almost constantly erupting volcanos, due to the friction caused by Jupiter's immense gravity.
Which moon has volcanos currently erupting?
Io

Where did the molten rock on the moon come from?
from volcanos that were on the moons surface long ago
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
Does Mercury's moon have tectonic plates?
Mercury does not have a moon.
The moon is no longer geologically active because?
its core has cooled and solidified, causing its magnetic field to weaken and its volcanic activity to cease. The lack of tectonic plates also contributes to the moon's geological inactivity.
Why does the moon appear to be following the car when it's moving?
The moon isn't really moving, the car is just moving around the moon.
Which of the jupiters moon is volcanically active?
Jupiter's volcanically active moon is Io.it has more than 400 active volcanoes
What is Uranus' moon Miranda like?
On the moon Miranda there are craters canyons cliffs plains mountains no volcanos and is made up of rock and sultrate ice
