Io certainly has tectonic features, however, these features do not require plate tectonics to explain their formation. Most importantly Io lacks liquid water on its surface which is a requirement for the initiation of plate tectonics. Under dry conditions (a dry rheology) the base of the crust undergoes shear stress which cause it to delaminate, while under a wet rheology the shear stresses with the addition of H2O cause subduction. Io's mountains are the cause of tidal forces from its orbit around Jupiter and the mountains are caused by faulting and tilting of crustal blocks due to subsidence under extreme loads of volcanic loading. All of these point to a conclusion that there is no plate tectonics active on Io.
IO is the fifth moon of Jupiter in terms of distance from Jupitert and the primary of the Galilean moons.
Because you are closer to it as it is a moon of Jupiter.
No. Io is a moon as it orbits the planet Jupiter rather than the sun.
Jupiter. It's one of the Galilean satellites, discovered in 1609.
No, Io is one of the four largest moons of Jupiter, while the Moon is Earth's natural satellite. The Moon is much larger in size and mass compared to Io.
Jupiter has the Moon called Io - the most volcanically active object in our solar system.
Planet - The EarthMoon - Io a Moon of Jupiter.
IO is the fifth moon of Jupiter in terms of distance from Jupitert and the primary of the Galilean moons.
IO is a moon of Jupiter. Jupiter is the 5th planet from the Sun.
Jupiter's moon Io is sometimes referred to as the "Pizza Moon".
Jupiter has 62 moons. The farthest moon is Io. it was discovered in 1610 and travels in the opposite direction of Jupiter.
Io is one of Jupiter's moons, located in the outer region of the solar system. It is the fourth largest moon of Jupiter and known for its volcanic activity and colorful surface.

No. Io is a moon of Jupiter. No known moon has a moon.
Io, the moon of Jupiter.
