Условие
The main reason why Io is volcanically active is due to:
A. Its own magnetic field
B. Tidal forces from Jupiter
C. Internal heat
D. Jupiter Torus
E. Eccentricity of its orbit
Отговори
- Tidal forces from Jupiter
Решение
B: Tidal forces from Jupiter
Jupiter has one of the strongest magnetic fields in the Solar System. Io, as the closest moon to the planet, is the one that feels more effects of this (tidal forces), causing volcano activity on this moon.
