Enceledus is a very interesting Icy body that is suggest to have a liquid ocean beneath its icy crust. Cassini Spacecraft detected its Plumes coming out from Enceladus. Obviously there are large scale fractures from which these plume ejecting with a relatively higher velocity. So first I want to discuss that can we call these Plumes Cryovolcanism? Or there exist Plate tectonics so that at divergent boundaries plumes are ejecting and at convergent boundaries crust is thick. If there is plate tectonics on Enceladus then in future there will be more plumes??

I request and humbly invite all the respected researcher to present their views on this discussion.

Thank you!
