The moon known as "Io" is the innermost largest moon of Jupiter, and it is about the same size and density of Earth's moon.
However, Io is the most volcanically active body known in the Solar System. Eruptions are so common, and so large, that the ENTIRE surface of the moon could be buried under 100 metres of material in only 1 million years.
Volcanoes.
It is covered in volcanoes. Currently, it is the only known moon in our solar system to have active volcanoes.
The surface of Io is covered in primarily sulphur, with areas of sulphur dioxide frost.
The rocks were similar to rocks formed by volcanoes on Earth, suggesting that vast oceans of molten lava once covered the moon's surface.
No. There are no volcanoes on the moon.
There are no active volcanoes on the our moon.

Jupiter's moon, Io, is the only moon known to currently have volcanoes.
No, the moon Io is not covered with ice. Io is the most volcanically active body in our solar system, with over 400 active volcanoes. The surface is mainly composed of sulfur and sulfur dioxide, resulting in a colorful and geologically dynamic landscape.
no, it is covered with volcanoes
Several moons in the solar system, have some sort of geologic activity. The most notable is Io, which is covered in active volcanoes.
Jupiter's volcanically active moon is Io.it has more than 400 active volcanoes
