The processes responsible for virtually all surface geology are ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Impact cratering, volcanism, tectonics, and erosion are the primary processes responsible for shaping the surface geology of planets and moons. Convection, conduction, radiation, accretion, differentiation, and radioactive decay may contribute to the geological processes, but they are not responsible for the majority of surface features. Eruptions, lava flows, and outgassing are specific types of volcanism and not the only processes responsible for surface geology.
