Venus—a hot planet pocked with tens of thousands of volcanoes—may be even more geologically active near its surface than ...

Future missions to Venus could also supply additional data on the density and temperature of the planet's crust, which could ...

Venus may be far more geologically alive than anyone expected. New research suggests its outer crust could be churning with ...

Venus, the hottest planet in the solar system, is estimated to have 85,000 volcanoes, based on radar images from NASA's 1989 ...

In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, thousands of miles from any continent, Easter Island rises out of the sea. Its surface ...

“Convection in the crust could be a key missing mechanism,” Solomatov said. Convection near the surface also could influence the type and placement of volcanoes on the Venusian ...

In fact, volcanoes and other surface features on the planet clearly exhibit signs of melting. The researchers' modeling suggests that the crust is hot and thick enough to support convection ...

The Hadean protocrust formation and early plate tectonics challenged by new study, questioning geological assumptions.

"Convection in the crust could be a key missing mechanism." Convection processes beneath Venus' scorched surface may help explain the planet's many volcanoes, a new study reports. Venus ...

After suspecting the presence of a series of underwater volcanoes near the Cook Islands, researchers have now mapped out the newly discovered structures.
