The four planets closest to the Sun have similar compositions (rock/metal), and all have solid surfaces. They are therefore grou

ped together as terrestrial ("Earth-like") planets. Even though they formed from the same process of accretion in the Solar Nebula, you'll see here that their surfaces are significantly different from one another.
Why are these planets so different? To answer this, we must start with an understanding of the processes that cause planetary surfaces to change: volcanism, tectonics, erosion, and impacts.

Answer: the differences among these planets  are:

Mercury:  is the closest to the Sun,have numerous craters produced by impacts.  

Venus:  its atmosphere catches the heat and causes very high temperatures.  It has great volcanic activity and mountains.

Earth: has mountains, valleys, volcanoes. It also has underwater mountains.  Their tectonic plates form their continents.

Mars: its red color is due to oxidation and corrosion of its surface. It has mountains, volcanoes, craters. Their craters are due to the great impacts of meteors.

Explanation: I hope I have helped.

How does lava travel
RSB [31]
Lava flows are the least hazardous of all processes in volcanic eruptions. How far a lava flow travels depends on the flows temperature, silica content, extrusion rate, and slope of the land. A cold lava flow will not travel far and neither will one that has a high silica content. Such a flow would have a high viscosity<span> (a high resistance to flow). A basalt flow like those in Hawai'i have low silica contents and low viscosities so they can flow long distances. Such a flow can move as far away as 4 km from its source and have a thickness of 10 m (Bryant, 1991). These flows can move at rates of several kilometers per hour (Scott, 1989). </span><span>More silica-rich flows can move as far away as 1.3 km from their sources and have thicknesses of 100 m (Bryant, 1991). These flows can move at rates of a few to hundreds of meters per hour (Scott, 1989). If a lava flow is channelized or travels underground in a lava tube then the distance it travels is greatly extended.</span>
