No. Scientists believe that the crust of Venus is too thick to support plate tectonics. Volcanic activity is likely driven by hot spots.

What happens if the moon stops going around the earth?
Tidal and tectonic activity will cease. Volcanic activity will increase and the earth will eventually look like Venus.
Does Venus have volcanoes storms rings craters etc?
Yes, on certain expeditions to Venus in the past several decades, evidence has been found proving that there has been volcanic activity on the planet. However, there are several large dormant volcanoes on the surface, so future volcanic activity can be expected.
Are there highlands on Venus?
Venus is volcanic, with smooth volcanic plains, and with several "continents" arising from the plains.
Does Venus's have any canyons?
Venus is considered to be the hottest planet in the solar system. Venus is referred to as Earths twin due to the canyons, mountains, valleys, and volcanic activity.
Do other things in space have earthquakes?
If the planet or other form have plates on the surface, that is to say floating on a molten mantle, then yes they can have earthquakes. Both Mars and Venus have volcanoes so there is almost certainly seismic activity. Quite a few moons of Jupiter and Saturn show evidence of seismic activity. Seismometers left on the Moon by Apollo astronauts regularly detect seismic activity. Remember, earthquakes are a vibration of the earth's materials. This may be caused by tectonic processes, by volcanic activity, or even by a major impact.
Does volcanic activity on venus and mars resemble volcanic activity on earth?
Presumably.
What are Venus' geological traits?
Venus is volcanic, but it appears that activity has been minor for several hundred million years.
What planets show evidence of heavy volcanic activity?
Mercury had volcanic activity but it appears to be dormant nowVenus had volcanic activity but it appears to be dormant nowEarth still has active volcanoesMars had volcanic activity but it appears to be dormant nowIo - a moon of Jupiter is the most volcanically active object in our Solar System with over 400 active volcanoes.
Is there evidence of plate tectonics on Venus?
Nope plate tectonics do not exist on Venus.
What are the three places in the solar system does volcanic activity take place?
io, venus and earth
Are there a lot of holes on Venus?
If the question asks about meteor craters, there are some. The surface is very hot and dry, and is covered with thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of volcanoes. Venus has been periodically resurfaced by volcanic activity, which erases craters or holes, but there is debate as to whether or not there is current volcanic activity there.
What happens if the moon stops going around the earth?
Tidal and tectonic activity will cease. Volcanic activity will increase and the earth will eventually look like Venus.

How many people have walked on venus?
none its too hot and uninhabitable between the sulfuric atmosphere and constant volcanic activity
Does plate tectonics occur on venus?
No. Plate tectonics are not possible on Venus because the crust is too thick and the upper mantle is not softened by water.
Are there highlands on Venus?
Venus is volcanic, with smooth volcanic plains, and with several "continents" arising from the plains.
Do other planets have volcano eruptions?
There is some evidence of volcanic activity on Venus, but no conclusive evidence of any recent eruptions. In addition, Io, a moon of Jupiter has an extremely high rate of volcanic activity. Titan, a moon of Saturn, is believed to have volcanoes as well.
