∙ 11y agoThese are the solar system bodies that happen to have volcanoes
Earth, Venus, Jupiter, mercury, and Mars. And Mars happens to have the largest volcano.

∙ 9y agoI'm pretty sure there are more than three.
Just off the top of my head: Earth does, obviously. Mars clearly has in the past, though activity has never been actually noticed by Earth scientists (in fairness, it's only for the last couple of hundred years that we would have had any chance at all of noticing, and only in the last 50 or so that we would have had a good chance of noticing). Venus seems to periodically get "resurfaced" in a kind of global overall volcanic eruption. Io definitely does, and several other moons of the gas giants exhibit a kind of volcanism involving ice/water instead of stone/magma.

∙ 8y agoThere are known volcanoes on the Venus, Earth, Mars, and Io, one of Jupiter's moon's. There may be cryovolcanoes on Titan, Saturn's largest moon.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoIo, one of Jupiter's moons, is the most volcanically active body in the solar system. The strong gravitational pull due to its proximity to Jupiter is the reason for this.

Where in the Solar System does volcanic activity take place?
Mercury
What planets show evidence of heavy volcanic activity?
Mercury had volcanic activity but it appears to be dormant nowVenus had volcanic activity but it appears to be dormant nowEarth still has active volcanoesMars had volcanic activity but it appears to be dormant nowIo - a moon of Jupiter is the most volcanically active object in our Solar System with over 400 active volcanoes.
Does Mars have volcanic craters?
AnswerThere is extensive evidence of past volcanic activity on Mars in the form of extinct volcanoes, the most famous of which is Olympus Mons, the highest known mountain in the Solar System. However, there is no current volcanic activity on Mars and it is apparent that Mars has undergone a cooling process, leading to all volcanic activity ceasing.There is extensive evidence of past volcanic activity on Mars in the form of extinct volcanoes, the most famous of which is Olympus Mons, the highest known mountain in the Solar System. However, there is no current volcanic activity on Mars and it is apparent that Mars has undergone a cooling process, leading to all volcanic activity ceasing. Yes there are volcanos on mars
What if the moon blows up are we going todie?
There is no physically possible way the moon could blow up. In fact, the moon is one of the most geologically "dead" bodies in our solar system. It's volcanic activity is long since over. It occasionally has "moonquakes", but they are mild.
Which is Jupiter's most popular moon?
The 3 most popular are, Ganymede, the largest moon in the solar system, Io, with the most volcanic activity of all moons and Europa with its water and ice.
Where in the Solar System does volcanic activity take place?
Mercury
What caused the surface of other planets and moon in your solar system to have a crater?
Craters can be the result of volcanic activity or from external impact events (bodies from space striking the planet or moon).
What has the author Cynthia A Gardner written?
Cynthia A Gardner has written: 'U.S. Geological Survey's alert notification system for volcanic activity' -- subject(s): Volcanic activity prediction

Why are some rocks younger then the formation of the solar system?
Some rocks are younger then the formation of the solar system because of changes caused by volcanic activity
What type of activity has been seen on Io?
Io is the most geologically active object in the Solar System, it has over 400 active volcanoes. So, the answer would be volcanic activity.
What if the moon blows up are we going todie?
There is no physically possible way the moon could blow up. In fact, the moon is one of the most geologically "dead" bodies in our solar system. It's volcanic activity is long since over. It occasionally has "moonquakes", but they are mild.
What is the Long Valley calderas activity level?
Long Valley Caldera's current volcanic activity level is normal with aviation color code of green. (Updated 2-9-12 CalVO) This simply means that there is no out of the ordinary activity currently present in the Long Valley Volcanic Complex. For further information on the Long Valley Volcanic System as well as its monthly activity updates see the CalVO (California Volcano Observatory) website in the related links section.
What three bodies in the solar system exhibits volcanic activity?
Earth and Jupiter's moon Io are known to be volcanically active.Venus, maybe volcanically active, but no positive observations have been made.Cryovolcanism [See related link] can also be found on Triton, Titan, Europa, Enceladus and Dione.
What government institution handles the volcanic activities in the country also give the meaning of its acronym?
Countries around the world have different institutions for overseeing and classifying volcanic activity; in the United States, it is the USGS, or United States Geological Survey. They created the warning system for volcanic activity used today. In the Philippines, for example, it is PHILVOLCS, or Philippine Institute for Volcanology and Seismology.
