Jupiter's moon Io. A world bathed in rivers of molten rock and sulfur plumes. Ever wondered why it is so hot and active?
The gravitational pull from Jupiter and its neighboring moons creates tidal forces that flex Io's interior. The friction heats Io's core to a scorching 1,700 degrees Celsius, hotter than Earth's molten mantle.
The heat produced is enough to melt the interior of Io, creating a subsurface ocean of partially molten rock or magma.
This heat results in spectacular volcanic eruptions, some shooting plumes of material kilometers into space, creating a dynamic and ever-changing surface.
