Question
  • By knowing the size and mass of a planet, what else may we be able to determine about it and why is that important? 
  • Take some time to explain how impact cratering, weathering/erosion, volcanism, and plate tectonics each individually play a role in planetary resurfacing. After doing that, you should also explain which of the terrestrial planets shows significant evidence of these processes individually. For example, which planet would show the most evidence of impact cratering and why (repeat this for each of the processes)? 
  • Explain why the Jovian planets developed to be so much larger than the terrestrial planets according to the solar nebula theory of the formation of our solar system. 
  • Offer up two ways that we could distinguish between whether a comet originated from the Oort Cloud or the Kuiper Belt. 

7: this is all one question with multiple steps. Thank you.
