A)Earthquakes resulting from plate tectonics are a common occurrence on Triton.
B)Volcanoes of molten lava, similar to those on Earth, have been seen on Triton.

D)Geysers of liquid water are seen erupting from Triton's surface.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Geysers of liquid nitrogen have been observed on Triton's surface, likely resulting from geological activity beneath the moon's frozen surface. There have not been any confirmed observations of plate tectonics or volcanoes on Triton, and given the moon's low temperature it is unlikely that any volcanoes would produce molten lava like those on Earth. While there is evidence of water ice on Triton, there have not been any confirmed observations of geysers of liquid water.
