why are jovian moons more geologically active


Why are Jovian moons more geologically active than small rocky planets?

- Ices deform and melt at much lower temperatures than rock, allowing icy volcanism and tectonics at surprisingly low temperatures. In addition, some Jovian moons use tidal heating as their heat source- that is not important to terrestrial planets.
