Volcanism of the Majority of the Solar System

The volcanism in most of the rest of the solar system is negligible.  The gas giants of the solar system have no visible solid surface, and therefore show no signs of volcanism.  Of the remaining satellites, there are a few that exhibit minimal cryovolcanism, but the majority are volcanically dead.  The cold and distant Pluto also shows no volcanism.  Other heavenly bodies in the solar system are volcanically uninteresting.
