Why are impact craters on Earth harder to see than those on Mercury or the Moon?
Unlike Mercury of the moon, Earth is geologically active. Erosion, deposition, and plate tectonics have buried or destroyed most of Earth's craters.
Where do most of earth's earthquakes volcanoes and mountain building occur geologically?
plate boundaries
What region of the US has the most active volcanoes?
Hawaii has the most active volcanoes in the United States.
Why are there rocks on the moon that are older than any rock on earth?
There is no geologic activity or weathering on the moon to break rocks down, so most of the rocks on the moon are nearly as old as the moon itself. Earth is geologically active and has processes that will destroy and recycle rocks. None of the rocks that made up Earth's original surface are still intact.
What region of the earth has the most plants?
the green region.
What is the most geologically active region on earth's surface?
boundaries between tectonic plates
What is the most geologically active of the terrestrial planets and why?
Earth. Why is 1) the moon, 2) rotation rate, 3) liquid core, 4) thin crust.
Why are impact craters on Earth harder to see than those on Mercury or the Moon?
Unlike Mercury of the moon, Earth is geologically active. Erosion, deposition, and plate tectonics have buried or destroyed most of Earth's craters.
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.
Why do earthquakes erupt early in Mexico?
Located atop three tectonic plates (North American, Pacific and Cocos Plates), Mexico is one of the most geologically active regions of Earth.
Where is the most geologically stable place on earth?
The most geological safe place is in South Africa
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
What type of activity has been seen on Io?
Io is the most geologically active object in the Solar System, it has over 400 active volcanoes. So, the answer would be volcanic activity.
Where do most of earth's earthquakes volcanoes and mountain building occur geologically?
plate boundaries
Why isn't earth covered in craters?
Earth is geologically active and has moving air,water, and ice on its surface. As a result, plate tectonics and weathering largely destroy most impact craters within a few million years, and most of what is left is often buried under sediment. Craters do exist on Earth, but apart from the youngest, they are not readily apparent.
What region of the US has the most active volcanoes?
Hawaii has the most active volcanoes in the United States.
