What planet has cliffs 3 km high?
mercury
How many mountains does mercury have?
Yes. Mercury is a planet covered by a rocky landscape with mountains and craters.
What is the surface of mercury made of?
Although its core is likely almost all iron, the thin crust of Mercury apparently retains a high level of silicates. With almost no atmosphere, the planet retains the scars and craters of impacts by meteors over its planetary history.
What planet is covered with tesserae?
Venus is the planet known for having a high density of tesserae, which are complex terrain features resembling tiled patterns. These tesserae are thought to result from intense geological processes such as volcanic activity and tectonic events on the planet's surface.
Why do some planets have craters?
The shape and size of a crater is dependent on the speed, size, and direction of the object that made the crater. Try tossing some big and little rocks or balls into some soft dirt or sand and see what happens!
What does mercury's landscape look like?
it looks as it has craters and high cliffs. :) ;) '0
What planet has cliffs 3 km high?
mercury
Does the planet Venus' have craters?
Venus has about 1,000 young craters, the biggest of which is Crater Mead, about 170 mile across. Oddly, there is no evidence on Venus of old craters like we see on the moon, Earth, and Mars. Somehow these old craters were smoothed over on Venus . . . by lava flow?? By high winds??
What are the cause of Mercury's craters?
Mercury's craters are primarily formed from impacts by meteoroids and asteroids. The lack of a substantial atmosphere to burn up or slow down incoming objects allows them to strike the planet's surface at high velocities, creating impact craters. The planet's proximity to the sun also makes it more vulnerable to collisions with space debris.
How high are the Cliffs of Moher?
The Cliffs are 214 metres or 702 feet high at the highest point.
How many mountains does mercury have?
Yes. Mercury is a planet covered by a rocky landscape with mountains and craters.
When do craters occur?
Craters occur when a celestial body, like a meteoroid or asteroid, collides with the surface of a planet or moon at a high velocity. The impact creates an indentation in the surface, which we observe as a crater. Craters can be found on many celestial bodies in our solar system, including the Moon, Mars, and Mercury.
Are there cliffs to fall off of on Jupiter?
No. The planet Jupiter is surrounding by a dense atmosphere of gases, mostly hydrogen, and does not have the solid surface of terrestrial planets such as Earth. The pressure near its rock core is so high that it is covered by liquid and even solid hydrogen at more than 11,000 degrees Celsius.
Where do falcons live?
FALCONS They live in most temperate regions of the planet. Usually nesting on cliff or gorge faces the falcons live on cliffs on 6 continents
What forms when a rock smashes into a planet or moon?
When a rock smashes into a planet or moon, it can create impact craters or even cause volcanic activity due to the high energy involved in the collision. In some cases, fragments or debris can be ejected into space.
What is the surface of mercury made of?
Although its core is likely almost all iron, the thin crust of Mercury apparently retains a high level of silicates. With almost no atmosphere, the planet retains the scars and craters of impacts by meteors over its planetary history.
The surfaces of planet Mercury and your moon contain some very large craters that are most likely the result of?
meteorite impacts during their formation. The lack of atmosphere on Mercury and the moon allows asteroids and meteoroids to directly impact the surface, creating large craters due to the high velocity and energy of these collisions.
