Answer to Question 1

faulting and deformation, or tectonic activity

Answer to Question 2

While they have much worse angular resolution due to their small size, these telescopes are so much closer to the moons as to compensate. The physical size of a resolved feature is a function of both the angular resolution and the distance to the feature.
