Because if the inner core of Europa is molten, it is possible that the surface may be warmed by hydrothermal vents. And on earth we have found many types of life forms thriving in the dark near hydrothermal vents.

What is the temperature on Europa?
The day time temperature in the Europa would be -160 degrees
What would the earth look like if plates stop moving?
Volcanism would essentially cease, except for areas of crustal weakness, where hot spot volcanism occurs. At these areas, a basaltic landmass would form around the location of the intrusive igneous body. Chemosynthesizing autotrophs would cease to exist, and all dependent organisms would be negatively affected.
Does Europa have earthquakes?
depending on the atospheric pressure of the techtonic plates coliding causing a mass nuclear explosion do to the power waves from the core, so i would say sometime.
Which Galilean moon is best to live on?
For humans, I'd say Callisto. Callisto is the farthest of the Galilean moons from Jupiter, and orbits outside Jupiter's powerful radiation belts, so it would be the least dangerous to land on. It also has ample water ice, and possibly even an underground ocean (as do Europa and Ganymede), so it could be a useful resource for us. For any kind of life though, I'd say Europa. Europa almost certainly has a thick underground ocean with more water than all of Earth's oceans combined - we're more certain of this than we are for Ganymede and Callisto, and their oceans are locked away under much more ice than Europa's, so they'd never get any sunlight. Europa's core is also thought to be hotter than Ganymede and Callisto's, as it is closer to Jupiter and gets flexed more by its gravity. Underwater volcanoes, hot springs and black smokers could provide havens for bacteria in Europa's warm oceans. Not a good place to set up a human colony, though! And I think we shouldn't do that anyway, just in case we contaminate Europa's ocean and then accidentally "discover" our own "alien life" down there...
What is the difference between volcanism at a hotspot and volcanism at mid-ocean ridge?
At a hotspot, a plume of hot magma comes up through the mantle, causing vulcanism. At a mid-oceanic ridge, two plates move away from eachother, leaving space that is filled by magma. Hotspots and mid-oceanic ridges can exist together at the same place, Iceland being a prime example of this. However, Hawaii, which is also a hotspot place, is nowhere near plate boundaries, so it's not a place where you would normally expect vulcanism.
Which European city would one find the bridge of sighs?
The Bridge of Sighs is in Venice. I believe it lead from prison to Gallows or similar so the "sighs" were by prisoners looking out of the bridge (it is a covered bridge with windows) onto Venice for the last time. Davo
What moon would look brightest from Jupiter?
europa Yes, europa is the brightest.
In which European city would one find the bridge of sighs?
Venice
What is the temperature on Europa?
The day time temperature in the Europa would be -160 degrees
How much does 2496 pounds weigh on the surface of europa?
A mass of 2,496 pounds on Earth would be 334.6 pounds on Europa.
What are hotspots?
Hotspots are portions of the Earth's surface that experience significant volcanism thought to be due to mantle plumes. They are normally located at a distance from plate boundaries where the majority of volcanism occurs.An example of a hotspot would be that underlying Hawaii and is responsible for the volcanism there and the creation of the Hawaiian island chain.
What suggests that there might be liquid water on Europa?
Because europa has the same impact rate as her sister but europa is one of the smoothest planets, meaning there would be water rising and forming more ice making it look like there is no craters.
How do you think Europa would be affected is it was close to the sun as Earth is?
It would be hotter than it currently is.
What is the best way to contact the Hotel Balcon De Europa in Nerja?
You can contact the Hotel Balcon De Europa through their website. The best way to contact the Hotel Balcon De Europa would be to call them. You could also email the hotel.
How much will you weigh on Europa?
you would weigh 1 pound no matter how big you are
How far away is Ganymede from Europa?
Answer is an estimate using mean orbital radius Europa 670,900km Ganymede 1,070,400km So their closest estimated point would 399,500km (not calculating Europa's furthest distance to Jupiter with Ganymede's closest when they're in astronomical alignment)
Which moon would look the brightest from the surface of Jupiter out of lo Europa Ganymede and Callisto?
Lo would look the brightest from the surface of Jupiter as it is the closest! Then Europa then Ganymede and finally Callisto I got that homework the other day
