Description
Mercury may look quiet, but its surface tells a violent story.
As the planet cools, it contracts, creating huge cliffs known as lobate scarps that stretch for hundreds of kilometers.
Spacecraft observations reveal Mercury has shrunk by up to 7 km in radius, making it one of the most dramatically changing rocky planets we know.
