There is very little active volcanism on Venus, but many landforms of volcanic origin, such as lava plains, plateaus, ridges, and domes. Almost all of the volcanoes seen on the planet are extinct or dormant.
Compared to volcanoes on Earth, those on Venus tend to be flatter but much wider. They are seldom seen over 1.5 kilometers in height, but some shield-type volcanoes cover hundreds of square kilometers in area.
Venus does not have plate movement, which causes volcanoes on Earth. The driving force is likely heat rising from hot spots in the mantle, as is seen in some volcanic seamounts on Earth.

What planets and moons have volcanism?
venus - active volcanos injecting sulfate into atmosphere, heat from radioactive decayearth - active volcanos, heat from radioactive decaymars - extinct volcanos, no activity in milllion of years, heat from radioactive decayio - active volcanos, heat from mechanical strain from orbit shapeThere are probably others.
What small planet containing giant volcanos?
the answer is venus because the planet has 1,000 volcanos, heat, and full of carbon dioxde
Why does venus have so many volcanoes?
Venus has more volcanoes than any other planet in the solar system earth occupies. Good evidence suggests it somehow managed to completely invert its crust, resulting in massive quantities of volcanic features.
Are there any craters on Venus'?
yes meteors hit Venus surface the craters that were once on the surface disappear
Do Venus have the most volcanoes?
In our solar system three planets (including Earth) and one moon have volcanoes. Planets outside our solar system are too far away to observe, but one similar to Earth probably have volcanoes too.
How many volcanos Venus's have?
there are no volcanoes on venus
What is there in Venus?
lava and volcanos
What is the venus's crust made up of?
Iron, Rocks, and Volcanos
Why is venus called the Volcano planet?
Because it has the most volcanos.
Is Venus' made of dust?
Venus is a rocky planet with a very thick atmosphere due to greenhouse gasses. Many volcanos and craters also are abundnt on Venus.

Does Venus have the most volcanos or craters out of the planets?
Mercury has the most craters of all the planets.

What three ways is venus is more like earth than other planets?
-about the same size -both have atmosphere -both have volcanos -both have clouds really Venus and Earth have no similarities whatsoever, so this is the best i can do
