Title: | Uranus and Neptune | Authors: | FILACCHIONE, GIANRICO CIARNIELLO, Mauro |
Issue Date: | 2019 | Volume: | Encyclopedia of Geology | First Page: | 133 | Abstract: | The two icy giant planets, Uranus and Neptune, offer a wide population of icy moons and rings of great interest for the planetary geologist. Among moons, Miranda has a very rough surface, peculiar for such a small moon. Triton is characterized by the presence of active geysers on the south polar region and by a tenuous atmosphere made of nitrogen and methane. All moons show the presence of very volatile ices (nitrogen, ammonia, methane, water) thanks to their low surface temperatures. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/30481 | URL: | https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B9780124095489119426?via%3Dihub | ISBN: | 9780081029084 | DOI: | 10.1016/B978-0-12-409548-9.11942-6 | Bibcode ADS: | 2019rmes.bookE...2F | Fulltext: | open |
