The Icy Moons
Choose from these words to fill the blanks below:
young, bacterial, monoxide, Kuiper, Callisto, 1000, Jupiter, signature, life, water, silicate, surfaces, Mercury, melting, Neptune, third, puzzle, gas
•
as you get to                and beyond, you get to the frost line
•
bodies are icier than rocky
•
the moons of Jupiter and the moons further out tend to have more ice on their                  and interiors
•
how ice fractures is different than it fractures on earth
•
icy moons
•
a group of small bodies
•
orbit the giant        planets
•
also in the              Belt there are icy bodies
•
         kilometers across or smaller
•
generally composed of 50% or more of            ice
•
a mix of ices
•
mostly water ice
•
low-temperature                materials
•
carbon dioxide
•
carbon                 
•
Triton
•
orbits               
•
nitrogen gas is so cold it freezes on the surface
•
the moons are so interesting because they have this water ice
•
Europa (Jupiter), Ganymede (Jupiter),                  (Jupiter), Titan (Saturn), Triton (Neptune)
•
interior temperatures are warm enough that it will actually melt those ices
•
spacecraft that have gone to these bodies have detected the magnetic                    of water oceans that lie deep in the interior
•
Europa (Jupiter)
•
ocean lies on top of a                  rocky core
•
liquid is where          could exist
•
not a lot of sunlight there
•
life would have to rely on chemical energy
•
could be                    life
•
Ganymede
•
the largest moon in the solar system
•
the            moon out from Jupiter
•
parts of its surface appear old and parts appear           
•
it has its own magnetic field
•
generated possibly by a liquid core inside the moon
•
only two other bodies have that kind of magnetosphere: the Earth and               
•
for an icy moon to have one is still a bit of a

magnetisphere ⇒ magnetosphere
