Which statement best describes the relationship between tidal heating and geologic activity in the moons shown?

Tidal forces can stretch and flex a moon as it orbits its planet, producing internal heat. Greater tidal heating can help power volcanism and other geologic activity, so moons with more tidal heating tend to be more geologically active. The statement that best describes this relationship is “Moons with higher tidal heating tend to show more geologic activity.”
