Jupiter's moon Io looks like a giant cheese pizza. That's because it is covered in volcanoes. They are constantly erupting and changing the surface of the moon. This means that Io must have a very hot interior. |
| This Moon suffers from huge Io-quakes and violent volcanoes. This photo was taken by NASA and the Galileo space craft. It shows a plume from a volcano that shoots up 100 kilometers. Try moving your mouse over the photo to see the volcano erupt. |
