Convection processes beneath Venus' scorched surface may help explain the planet's many volcanoes, a new study reports. Venus, the hottest planet in the solar system, is estimated to have 85,000 ...

When scientists recently took a closer look at archival images of the surface of Venus, they discovered something new: evidence of volcanic activity on Earth's "twin." The NASA Magellan spacecraft ...

Venus — a hot planet pocked with tens of thousands of volcanoes — may be even more geologically active near its surface than previously thought. New calculations by researchers at Washington ...

The crust of volcanically active Venus could be churning with convection currents just like the Earth's mantle. This is the conclusion of researchers from the Washington University in St. Louis, who ...

Scientists may have finally cracked the recipe behind Venus' giant pancakes. Venus is famous for its "pancake domes" — steep-sided volcanoes that rise from the planet's surface like circular welts. A ...

New research suggests that Venus could be much more geologically active than previously thought. A groundbreaking study by Viatcheslav S. Solomatov and Chhavi Jain proposes that Venus’ crust may be ...

The takeaway: Little is understood about the geology of Venus, and recent findings suggest that the planet's subsurface processes may not follow the same patterns observed elsewhere. Future missions ...

Earth’s geology is downright vital. Here, giant “plates” of the crust rift apart and smash together like pieces of an ever changing planetary jigsaw puzzle. Mountains rise, volcanoes spew, and Earth ...
