Some surfaces have experienced more recent geological activity (like volcanism or erosion) that wiped out previously existing craters. They are referred to as "geologically younger" than surfaces that have not experienced activity. We can therefore use crater counts to determine the "age" of a surface, approximating how long ago the last geological event occurred in that area. Using this technique (and assuming these pictures are representative of the crater density on the entire planet), rank the planets in order of their geological age, from oldest to youngest.

Answer:

Bumpiest is oldest, smoothest is youngest

Step-by-step explanation:

  • As to find out this the surface of the recent geological activity like those of the volcano creates and those of the erosive activity that has led to the creation of the creator masses know as the geologic young.
  • The older surface creator will have a higher density than those at the lower or younger surfaces. This can be understood by the dark grey color of the creator sides. The Creator in the far side will be oldest those in the center will be youngest.
