Why does the moon have little water?
Because there is no active volcanic activity on the moon. For a planet or moon to develop water, it needs to have active volcanic activity. The steam from erupting volcanoes creates an atmosphere and condensation which, over millions of years, creates oceans. We know the moon had active volcanic activity millions of years ago, because there are pockets of ice on the moon. However, volcanic activity on the moon is now non-existent, therefore, no more water can be produced from volcanic steam.
What is Jupiter's moon io cover with?
It is covered in volcanoes. Currently, it is the only known moon in our solar system to have active volcanoes.
Why doesn't Ireland have volcanoes?
Ireland has volcanoes. However there are no active ones. They are all extinct. There is lots of evidence of volcanic activity, most notably the Giants Causeway. It was created by volcanic activity millions of years ago.
What moon has volcanic activity and water?
Jupiters Moons
How do volcanoes affect Hawaii?
Hawai'i was formed from volcanoes. The shape of the islands (volcanic mountains) affects the weather. Volcanic activity causes eartquakes, eruptions on the Big Island cause it to continue to grow, cause fires, close roads. Gasses from the volcanoes can cause vog (volcanic smog) and volcanoes have produced fertile soil in Hawai'i.

Do other planets have volcano eruptions?
There is some evidence of volcanic activity on Venus, but no conclusive evidence of any recent eruptions. In addition, Io, a moon of Jupiter has an extremely high rate of volcanic activity. Titan, a moon of Saturn, is believed to have volcanoes as well.
How does volcanic activity relate to science?
volcanic activity deals with how volcanoes erupt and when they are, but it can also show the structures of a volcano.
What makes the volcanoes crater?
A volcanic crater is a circular depression caused by volcanic activity.
