The gas erupting out of the geysers on Triton, a moon of Neptune, is primarily nitrogen. Other gases such as methane and carbon dioxide have also been detected in these plumes.

How did Neptune have geysers?

It doesn't have any geysers. Neptune is a gas giant, meaning it has no solid surface, so it is impossible for geysers to form. You are probably mistaking Neptune and Triton (Neptune's largest moon). Voyager 2, during its flyby of Neptune, discovered geyser-like eruptions on the moon of Triton.


What moon spews geysers of ice water?

Triton, the largest of Neptune's moons, has geysers of liquid nitrogen, creating a very thin atmosphere.


Which planet has cold geysers?

Well......none does. However, Triton, one of the moons of Neptune, has such geysers.


Is Triton a gas or solid?

gas


What gas giant is Triton IN?

Triton isn't in any gas giant. It orbits the planet Neptune.


Yellowstone park features some of the worlds most extraordinary geysers and hot springs what's a good supporting detail for this thesis statement?

Write about the number of geysers, the frequency of their erupting, and the height and duration of the eruptions.


Does volcanoes blow out ice on Neptune?

Volcanoes on Neptune do not blow out ice. Instead, Neptune's icy moon Triton has geysers that erupt nitrogen gas and icy particles from beneath its surface. These geysers create plumes that resemble volcanic eruptions on Earth but are driven by different processes.


What are three facts about Triton the moon?

Triton is the largest moon of Neptune and the seventh-largest moon in the solar system. It is the only large moon in the solar system that has a retrograde orbit, meaning it orbits in the opposite direction of its planet's rotation. Triton has a thin atmosphere primarily composed of nitrogen, with evidence of geysers spewing nitrogen gas and dust particles from its surface.


How high do the ice geysers on Triton Neptune's moon shoot ice into the atmosphear?

If I remember correctly, they shoot as high as 5 miles.


What are the only two members of the solar system known to have active volcanoes?

The Earth and Io a moon of Jupiter. This does not include those moons with erupting geysers.


Why do astronomers conclude that saturns moon enceladus is geologically active?

Astronomers conclude that Saturn's moon Enceladus is geologically active because of the presence of geysers erupting from its south pole. These geysers are evidence of subsurface liquid water, which suggests ongoing geological processes at work. Additionally, observations of the moon's surface show evidence of recent resurfacing, indicating internal heat and geological activity.
