Jupiter's moon with hundreds of active volcanoes

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Io, one of Jupiter's largest moons, is the most geologically violent place in our entire solar system. Its orbit is aggressively squeezed and pulled by the immense gravity of its host planet, generating so much internal friction that it fuels over four hundred active, towering volcanoes that constantly erupt across its scarred surface.
