With a solid crust and a superheated core, Salme is in a period of great geologic upheaval. It’s mostly nickel-iron core is estimated to be cool by 130 degrees Celsius every billion years but has yet to develop any solidity.
As the core cools, it will shrink, and the planet's crust will continue to twist and rupture under the strain for the next two billion years, when the crust will finally rest on a fully solid, crystalized core. Until then, this world, with its rapid rotation and quick cooling will be geologically active, with nearly constant volcanism and lava flows for millions of years.
