Question

select the correct answer. which feature do gas giants have that terrestrial planets do not?
a. volcanoes
b. rings
c. rift valleys
d. mountains

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Volcanoes can be found on terrestrial planets (e.g., Earth has volcanoes, Mars has Olympus Mons). So gas giants don't have a monopoly on volcanoes.
• Option B: Gas giants (like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) are known for having rings. Terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) do not have rings.
• Option C: Rift valleys are features of terrestrial planets (e.g., East African Rift Valley on Earth). Gas giants don't have rift valleys.
• Option D: Mountains are found on terrestrial planets (e.g., Earth's Himalayas, Mars' Olympus Mons). Gas giants don't have mountains in the same way.

So the correct feature that gas giants have and terrestrial planets do not is rings.

Answer:

B. rings
