Answer:

Planet Z will have the following properties;

Active Volcanoes

Active Tectonics

An Atmosphere produced by outgassing

Step-by-step explanation:

The little terrestrial worlds have heat shorter than the much bigger terrestrial worlds, so the bigger worlds tend to have active volcanism and tectonics. These active volcanism and tectonics are likely to erase ancient craters. The active volcanism and tectonics would create an atmosphere by producing gases.

It is know that the Terrestrial worlds that are not far from the star have higher surface temperature.

Fast rate of rotation can cause winds and strong storms but here it is slower compared to earth. Also, a tilt of axis causes seasons.

The properties the star have are active volcanoes, active tectonics and an atmosphere produced by outgassing.
