I have a bit of a hobby of drawing moons and planets. I often sketch barren worlds or lush Earthlike objects. However, I've gotten quite bored of those and I'm crossing into the middle road. My work in progress right now is a moon of a gas giant that has seas of liquid methane (Far too cold for life, at least on that planet) and volcanic vents. Around those vents I drew a couple of lakes full of liquid water. It's generally understood that the Io of the planet Jupiter has an active volcanic system due to something with Jupiter's gravitational pull/electromagnetic nonsense. I'm wondering if volcanic activity could be enough on a moon to create liquid water lakes, while the colder sides too cold and could only harbor liquid methane. And before you answer, no psuedo-science bulls*** please. I'm looking for a serious question using our current scientific methods.

That's cool. I wouldn't put too much thought into it, though. I just rely on my imagination.
