Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Miranda, one of Uranus's moons, exhibits evidence of internal activity, such as ovoids, which suggest a period of partial chemical differentiation possibly caused by tidal heating. This sets it apart from being a body with a smooth, uncratered surface or showing current geological activity like geysers.
