Which statements accurately compare the tectonic activity of the planets? Check all that apply.The terrestrial planets experience quakes; the gas giants do not.The gas giants have multiple plates; the terrestrial planets do not.The gas giants have no true surfaces, so they experience tectonic activity.Terrestrial planets experience (or experienced) tectonic activity; gas giants do (or did) not.Mountains and volcanoes are found on the gas giants, not on terrestrial planets.Activity in the molten interior of the terrestrial planets results (or resulted) in tectonic activity.

Terrestrial planets have solid surfaces and internal activity that can move or crack their crusts, producing tectonic activity and quakes. This makes A and D accurate: terrestrial planets experience or have experienced quakes and tectonic activity, while gas giants do not have tectonic plates or solid surfaces like terrestrial planets. F is also accurate because activity inside terrestrial planets drives tectonic processes. B, C, and E incorrectly describe gas giants as having plates, tectonic activity, mountains, or volcanoes on a solid surface.
