Scientific paper

Massive outpourings of lava in short intervals could cause an
instability in Io's rotation and a reorientation of its spin axis. The
volcanos and mountains exhibit a complementary distribution, with the
maximum principal inertia axis for volcanos close to the position of the
rotation axis.
