← ScienceWhich process prevents geysers on cryovolcanic moons from erupting?
A)Tidal flexing heats interior pathways
B)Outgassing vents prevent pressure build-up
C)Gravitational self-compression limits reservoirs✓
D)Viscosity reduces eruption column density
💡 Explanation
Gravitational self-compression increases towards the core because of mass-energy equivalence; therefore volatiles remain trapped in the deep interior rather than erupting, because the cryovolcanic geological systems create only finite gravitational forces.
