By using a interior models of 14 icy moons, the tectonic strength and stresses exerted upon the seafloor of each moon was determined for the present day. Modeling parameters were chosen to represent realistic, but weak conditions, maximizing the chance for present day fault motion. Despite this, it is found that the icy moons likely have tectonically inactive seafloors.
