Simplified Plate Tectonics MapPlate boundary - Known area between two plates.Some plate boundaries, such as the North America - South America boundary, are not shown because scientic dataare inadequa The word tectonics derives from the Greek tektonikos, meaning "pertaining to construction." Galilean Moons . Three of the Galilean moons are bigger than Earth’s . moon and one moon . are smaller than . E. arth’s moon.. Size. Galilean moons have a diameter of more than 200 meters.. Galilean moons are the four largest moons orbiting Jupiter.. Asia Tooke and Avery Morgan. Ganymede Physical Features . It is the largest satellite in our solar system with three whole layers: an iron, metallic core that generates its magnetic field, a rocky mantle, and its shell, which is chiefly composed of ice. . Earth habitable. ? . Earth is the only planet in the Solar System with plate tectonics. The outer crust of the Earth is broken up into regions known as tectonic plates. These are floating on top of the magma interior of the Earth and can move against one another. When two plates collide, one plate can go underneath another.. O. Vaisberg, D. . Moiseenko. , G. .
