Planet with active volcanoes?

The closest moon of Jupiter is Io (Pronounced Eye-Oh).  It is covered with active volcanoes

Currently there are over five thousand active volcanoes underwater varying from ones larger than any on the surface to cones no larger than an automobile. The net reslut of this action is thermal heating of the oceans, at key positions, which in turn reaches the surfaceto be carried aloft into the atmosphere to become part of our surface weather pattern system. As the oceans are heated winds of a high velocity are created and driven over the land areas due to temperature differential. \n\nIn the Pacific Ocean there are ocean basins - volcanoes, of which there are estimated to be about 20,000 on the ocean bottoms of the world. Some of these form single mountains, and others join with other volcanoes to form ridges. The highest ones rise above the surface of the water as islands, which in many cases linear groups such as the Hawaiian Islands. \n\nIsland groups are simply the highest summits of ridges. The submerged part of the Hawaiian Islands is among the largest and longest of these volcanic ridges--more than 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometers) long. \n\nMany island groups of the Pacific are linear in form, with the largest and highest island of the group at one end and the lowest and smallest at the other. This feature is true of the Hawaiian Islands, explained as the result of intermittent movement of the tectonic plate over what is called a hot spot. \n\nMolten volcanic material is ejected from it and results in the formation of a large mass of material if the plate pauses for a sufficient length of time at the spot. In this way a volcanic island, or ridge, is built. The plate moves, and another part of it lies over the hot spot, receiving fresh volcanic material. Meanwhile the older material, if it has become an island, is subject to erosion and thus is worn down.

If extinct/inactive volcanoes are included there are some in your region. Georgia, the Carolinas, and Virginia all have extinct volcanoes. Central Texas, near Austin, also has an extinct volcano. Yellowstone is probably the nearest active volcano, depending on what type of volcano you are looking for. \n\nThere are multiple 200 ft thick lava flows about 570 my old, in Virginia in the Shenandoah National Park. \nhttp://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/LivingWith/VolcanicPast/Places/volcanic_past_appalachians.html\n\nThe Carolina Slate Belt in North Carolina contains deformed volcanic rocks from a series of volcanic islands that existed about 550-650 mybp. \nhttp://www.geology.enr.state.nc.us/Mineral%20resources/mineralresources.html\n\nHick's Dome in southern Illinois is close to you:\nhttp://ebeltz.net/fieldtrips/sn-trip.html\n\nYou might look in the library for these:\nVolcanoes of the world: a regional directory, gazetteer, and chronology of volcanism during the last 10,000 years   / 2nd ed. / Tom Simkin & Lee Siebert ; with the collaboration of Russell Blong ...

Hawaii and Iceland are examples of places where volcanoes extrude huge quantities of basaltic lava that gradually build a wide mountain with a cone-like profile. Olympus Mons is the largest cone volcano on Mars, and is the tallest known mountain in the solar system. Smaller versions of cone volcanoes include lava cones, and lava mounds.\n\nQuiet eruptions spread out basaltic lava in flat layers. The buildup of these layers form a broad volcano with gently sloping sides called a shield volcano or a cone Examples of shield volcanoes are the Hawaiian Islands.

There are three classifications for volcanoes in respect to their activity. Two of those are inactive.\n\nActive volcanoes have erupted recently or are expected to erupt in the near future. They are showing signs that they are active such as releasing gases, uplift of surrounding land, movement of magma, & mini earthquakes.\n\nDormant volcanoes are those that have erupted at least once during recorded human history but have not erupted since that time. They are expected to erupt at some point in time but are not currently showing signs.\n\nExtinct volcanoes are ones that have not erupted in recorded human history but evidence left behind tells us that it had erupted at one time. These volcanoes are considered to be dead and will not erupt again.\n\nSo to answer your question directly, the only volcanoes that are active are the ones that are not extinct or dormant.

A model volcano is always a hit. Or a model of the solar system. For the latter, just string some colored balls on the interior of a shoe box painted black. Pretty simple.

There are explosions in and on the surface of the sun, but as for volcanoes like here on earth no there are none. Since the surface of the sun is molten (which means not solid) there are no mountains on the sun.

First off earthquakes can't occur on Jupiter or Saturn since their "surface" is fluid.  \n\nIt's my understanding that earthquakes are the result of active plate tectonics.  Active plate tectonics only occur in our solar system on this planet.  So my guess is no.  Maybe in the past thought.

Volcanoes are usually situated either at the boundaries between tectonic plates or over geology hotspots. Volcanoes may be either dormant (having no activity) or active (near constant expulsion and occasional eruptions), and change state unpredictably.\n\nSurprisingly, there is no consensus among volcanologists on how to define an "active" volcano. The lifespan of a volcano can vary from months to several million years, making such a distinction sometimes meaningless when compared to the lifespans of humans or even civilizations. For example, many of Earth's volcanoes have erupted dozens of times in the past few thousand years but are not currently showing signs of activity. Given the long lifespan of such volcanoes, they are very active. By our lifespans, however, they are not. Complicating the definition are volcanoes that become restless but do not actually erupt. Are these volcanoes active?

This is a question that scientists are still trying to answer. However, according to data, titan is geologically active, though not lava flows as you would think.  It has a large amount of ammonia, which, at the cold tempuratures of Titan, would form a slush of the same consistancy of liquid rock.  Volcanos on titan must be very cold indeed.  This geological activity, though strange, can serve to constanty renew the atmosphere.

the activity, located between the aleutian islands and southern japan, is importent in huge ways. you know how the earth contains a lot of pressure? well, the ring of fire acts as a waste basket because the earth gets rid of the pressure by using the volcanos. another importent thing is the magma. the magma, combined with water, metals, rock and heat, are used to create islands.

It is confirmed active. \n\nIt may erupt anytime. no worries though, the Japanese people are currently working on a dam to control and direct the flow of lava.\n\nBut make sure it doesn't erupt because I have not climbed it yet, along with other people around the world!

There are two main types of planets: the rocky planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) and the gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus).  Rocky planets are also called terrestrial planets, and gas giants are also known as Jovians.  Pluto is sometimes classified as an icy planet, although its status as a planet (or a lost comet/moon) is disputed.

The Earth is tectonically active because it has a heat source inside the planet.\n\nThis heat source is the decay of radioactive elements.  Mars is small enough that its heat source has decayed to pretty much nothing while Venus is big enough to still have a heat source.\n\nWe haven't really been observing Venus for very long so I think it a bit premature to conclude that it isn't tectonically active.
