Odd question, but all right.LiteralRhinoceros wrote:Do any other planets in the solar system have tectonic processes similar to Earth? If so, how is it different?
The gas giants obviously don't, but the other inner planets have basically settled to have little more than small scale geologic processes
Just in case you've forgotten, you've got a answer.LiteralRhinoceros wrote:Do any other planets in the solar system have tectonic processes similar to Earth? If so, how is it different?
