formation of cliffs on mercury
answer bank
crust buckling shrinking of the core asteroid impact
change in the rotation rate of the planet

Explanation:

The cliffs on Mercury, known as scarps, were formed mainly due to the shrinking of the planet's core as it cooled over time. This caused the crust to buckle. Asteroid impacts can create features like craters but are not the main cause of the cliffs. Changes in the rotation rate do not contribute significantly to cliff - formation.

Answer:

crust buckling, shrinking of the core
