Gas giant planets are not known to be geologically active, since their cores are under a hot, dense lower atmosphere.

A larger terrestrial planet, however, might exhibit a greater segregation of heavier metals in the core, as on Earth, leaving the lighter minerals more likely to be affected by tidal forces.
