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.

How were the fossil symbols mountain belts helpful in deciding where to move the cotinents
Levart [38]
Similar fossils found on different continents helped geologists determine how the continents used to be connected. Mountain belts marked the boundaries of moving plates, which showed in which direction the different continents drifted. Extrapolating from this information, scientists had a rough idea of how the continents were arranged eons ago.
