Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The detection of small lakes of liquid water on Europa's surface does not necessarily indicate the presence of a subsurface ocean. It is possible that these pockets of liquid water could be the result of geothermal processes melting surface ice. The other pieces of evidence, such as the magnetic field and the lack of impact craters, suggest that Europa has a subsurface ocean.
