Which is the only moon with active volcanoes?
Titan
Ganymede
Io
Europa
The geologic activity of Io is the result of tidal heating from friction generated within Io's interior as it is pulled between Jupiter and the other Jupiter's moons. With over 400 active volcanoes, Io is the most geologically active object in the Solar System.

lo
Europa
Lo is a very tiny moon that is enormously influenced by the gravity of Jupiter. The great forces of Jupiter and its other moons exert such long pulls on lo that it deforms continuously from strong internal friction. These tides produce tremendous amount of internal friction, which heats the moon and enables its volcanic activity
