Which process prevents geysers on cryovolcanic moons from erupting?

💡 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.
