For a long time, many undiscovered dwarf planets were thought to be lifeless rocks. In fact, they exhibit surprising properties and are full of fascinating geological phenomena and physical features.

Dwarf planets may have played a much more important role in the formation of our solar system than previously thought. Because our earth’s smaller relatives are nothing more than inactive rocks.

In fact, a firework of startling phenomena is being launched on the few dwarf planets discovered so far: Hidden oceans, disappearing mountains, and glacial ice volcanoes are among the geological phenomena found on these mysterious dwarf planets. The mini-planets may even have provided their larger siblings with important building blocks of life, according to new research.
