A planet is a large, rounded astronomical body that is neither a star nor its remnant.
Geology
As a general rule, bigger terrestrial planets will have a stronger tectonic activity: for the square-cube law, a bigger planet has a smaller surface relatively to its volume, and therefore leaks away less internal heat. It should have a large molten core rich in metals and radioactive elements (which release more heat), a thick mantle and a thin, brittle crust that is easily cracked by mantle convection. A large presence of water in the crust also contributes to tectonic activity, lubricating plates and making rocks more pliable.
Terrestrial
Rocky planets, like Earth.
Jovian
Gaseous planets, AKA, Gas Giants.
Thalassogens
