Io, like all the moons of Jupiter, is subject to intense tidal stresses caused by Jupiter's powerful gravity. Those tides generate friction within the moon, causing its temperature to remain much higher than, for example, our own moon. That heat liquefies and/or evaporates minerals inside Io, which then vent from the surface in precisely the same manner as volcanoes on Earth.
