A report on Triton (moon) and Cryovolcano
Intricate cryovolcanic and tectonic terrains suggest a complex geological history.
- Triton (moon)In addition, although they are not known to form volcanoes, ice geysers have been observed on Enceladus and potentially Triton.

Titan (moon)

Largest moon of Saturn and the second-largest natural satellite in the Solar System.
The geologically young surface is generally smooth, with few impact craters, although mountains and several possible cryovolcanoes have been found.
It is second in terms of relative diameter of moons to a gas giant; Titan being 1/22.609 of Saturn's diameter, Triton is larger in diameter relative to Neptune at 1/18.092.
Europa (moon)
0 linksSmallest of the four Galilean moons orbiting Jupiter, and the sixth-closest to the planet of all the 80 known moons of Jupiter.
Smallest of the four Galilean moons orbiting Jupiter, and the sixth-closest to the planet of all the 80 known moons of Jupiter.
Impurities in the water ice crust of Europa are presumed both to emerge from the interior as cryovolcanic events that resurface the body, and to accumulate from space as interplanetary dust.
Europa is one of the only moons in our solar system with a quantifiable atmosphere, next to Titan, Io, Triton, Ganymede and Callisto.
