Jovian moons are made mostly of ice that can melt or deform at lower temperatures than can the rock and metal that make up the Moon and Mercury.
Of the four main moons of Jupiter called the Galilean Moons, only two are geologically active. Io is the most clearly geologically active with hundreds of volcanoes that frequently erupt. Europa is the second moon that's geologically active as evidenced by its smooth icy surface suggesting a warm liquid ocean underneath.
Earth is the only geologically active planet among the terrestrial planets. There are some geologically active moons in orbit around the gas giants. Enceladus is quite an interesting moon of Saturn.
Io, one of Jupiter's moons, is the most volcanically active body in the solar system. The reason for this is tidal heating which is created by the gravitational pull of Jupiter and the other three Galilean moons.
Yes, one of Jupiter's moons is named Io. It is the innermost of the four Galilean moons and is known for its active volcanism, making it one of the most geologically active bodies in the solar system.
All of the Jovian planets in the solar system have rings and more than eight moons. Neptune has the fewest known moons of the giant planets; : 14.
Unlike Earth's moon and Mercury, the Jovian moons are subject to very strong tidal forces that heat their interiors.
No, not all jovian planets have active volcanoes. For example, Jupiter and Saturn do not have active volcanoes. However, some of the moons that orbit these planets, such as Io (a moon of Jupiter), do have active volcanoes.
