Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The visible surface of Triton is characterized by a wrinkled surface, frozen lakes, and plumes of nitrogen gas. The ice on the surface is also heavily cratered by ancient impacts, but this feature is not unique to Triton and can be found on other icy moons as well. Triton does not have a dense atmosphere permanently shrouded in clouds, nor does it have lava flows, volcanoes, or sulfur dioxide frost.
