Io the moon
By Kimmie Shultis
The moons place
Tidal
Io has tidal forces that cause Io's surface to go in and out by as much as 330 feet. The tidal generates tremendous amount of heat in the moon, the subsurface crust in liquid form seeking any available escape route to the surface to relieve the pressure. The surface is constantly filling the craters with molten lava lakes and spreading smooth new floodplains of liquid rock. But people think that there is no clear information of this, but theories suggest that it is largely molten sulfur and its compounds. The primary constituent of the thin atmosphere is because of Sulfur dioxide.
