GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Venus has shield volcanoes, widespread lava flows and some unusual volcanoes called pancake domes and “tick-like” structures which are not present on Earth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Overview. Small shield volcanoes are very common on Venus. In fact, there may be over 100, 000 of such shields less than 20 km across. These small shields usually occur in clusters, called shield fields.

Detailed explanation-3: -Volcanoes of all sizes are found on Venus, from thousands of small domes that dot the plains to large mountains. This volcano, Sapas Mons, is 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) tall and surrounded by lava flows. Two steep volcanic domes occur at the summit. Both show evidence of massive landslides along their flanks.

Detailed explanation-4: -Out of all planets in the solar system, Venus has the most volcanoes. Much of the planet is covered in volcanic deposits that are less than 300 million years old, and volcanic activity has played a pivotal role in its history.
