Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Earth is approximately four times larger than the Moon, which means it takes much longer for its interior to cool down. Therefore, it remains geologically active, with volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and other tectonic activities, compared to the Moon, which has a much colder interior and is no longer geologically active.
