Are the volcanoes on io and Triton similar to the volcanoes on earth?

both Volcanoes , according to NASA and other sources, tell us that the volcanoes are quite different from earth due to the gravitational pull of Jupiter and that the elements being given off by these volcanoes are not lava but rather sulpur and Ice cold jets called "volcanic ice"
In essence and to simply answer the question: NO, they are quite different...

Do other planets have volcanoes?
The planets other than Earth on which we have observed volcanoes are Venus and Mars. These planets are made of the same materials to Earth and formed by the same processes. Therefore, like Earth, they have hot interiors that can produce molten rock. Mars may have cooled enough that the volcanoes it has no longer erupt.
Do Venus have the most volcanoes?
In our solar system three planets (including Earth) and one moon have volcanoes. Planets outside our solar system are too far away to observe, but one similar to Earth probably have volcanoes too.
Io which has more than 400 active volcanoes is the satellite of?
Io is a satellite of Jupiter.
Volcanoes on Io erupt fountains of what?
sulfur
Which planets have volcanoes on the surface?
Venus, Earth, and Mars are all known to have volcanoes. Volcanoes have also been seen on Io, one the the moons of Jupiter.
Are there volcanoes in the solar system other than on earth?
Io the Moon of jupter has over 400 active volcanoes.
Are there active volcanoes in the solar system?
At the moment Earth and the moon Io have active volcano's

Does volcanoes only exist on earth?
No, they exist on the planets Venus and Mars as well as Io, a moon of Jupiter.
Where can volcanoes be found in the solar system?
Earth and then the moon have volcanoes There are volcanoes on Venus and Mercury There are huge volcanoes on Mars And some of the moons of the outer planets i.e. Jupiter's Io has suffer volcanoes Triton, a moon of the planet Neptune has volcanoes that are believed to eject liquid nitrogen, dust, or methane compounds. Reports from NASA's Cassini-Huygens mission suggest that Saturn's moon Titan may have volcanoes that eject water. Also Saturn moon Enceladus hosts cryo-geysers around its southern pole.
Are volcanoes found on any other planet besides Earth?
Yes. There are volcanoes on Venus and Mars as well as Jupiter's moon Io. None of the volcanoes on Venus and Mars are known to be active, though.
What is Jupiter's moon Io covered with active?
Volcanoes.
Is Earth the only body in the Solar System with active volcanoes?
No, Earth isn't the only body in the Solar System with active volcanoes. Io, the third largest moon of Jupiter has active volcanoes with evidence. Venus, Mars and Pluto are also thought to have volcanoes based on their behaviour.
Which moon has active volcanoes?
Io
Is venus the only planet with volcanoes all over it?
No. Earth also has many volcanoes, and Mars used to. Additionally, Jupiter's moon Io has very powerful volcanoes; some of the eruptions seem to reach orbit!
Io which has more than 400 active volcanoes is the satellite of?
Io is a satellite of Jupiter.
