What causes ice volcanoes and erupting geysers on Saturn’s moon Enceladus?

Enceladus has geysers and cryovolcanoes that eject water and ice out into space near Saturn, but Jupiter’s frozen moon Europa does not. New research now aims to answer why and how Enceladus is able to exert enough pressure to release water into space. ThePrint’s Sandhya Ramesh explains the research and findings.
