Scientists know that there are volcanoes on Venus because images from satellites show features like rivers. Since Venus is too hot to have water, the rivers are more likely flowing lava.

No one know if there are active volcanoes on Venus. There are old ones. There is no evidence of plate motion on Venus.
Venus definitely have more volcanoes than Mars. Yes, Venus and Mars have pretty much all extinct and dormant volcanoes, but they're still volcanoes. Think of it like this: when someone dies or is in a coma, that doesn't mean they're not human. Yes I know that was dark deal with it :P
Shield volcanoes on Earth are typically larger and have a gentler slope than the volcanoes on Venus. Volcanoes on Venus tend to be more steep-sided and exhibit a greater diversity in shape and size. Additionally, the lava on Venus is generally more viscous than on Earth, leading to different eruption styles.
No. Earth (obviously) and Venus have volcanoes as well.
venus has thousands of volcanoes
there are no volcanoes on venus
Like Earth, Venus has volcanic mountains and other features that are probably made of thin, runny lava, on Venus the volcanos sometimes spew out sulfur into the atmosphere, although there is no proof Venus is volcanically active, scientists believe it most likely is. On Mars there are large shields of volcanoes similar to those on Venus and Earth,as well as cone-shaped volcanoes and lava flows, some of these volcaoes are significantly bigger than Earth's volcanoes, such as Olympus Mons, which is 3 times the size of Mount Everest, but none of these are volcanically active.
Venus has many volcanoes and craters.

Scientists explore volcanoes in order to study its past eruption and/or when it will possibly erupt again. If the volcano is inactive they examine the old rocks around it in order to know the history of that volcano. There are both active and inactive volcanoes both of which are studied by scientists.
venus' biggest volcano is called the Osmosis Ralabo
