Well, aren't you curious about our neighbor Venus? Venus does not have plate tectonics like Earth does. Instead, Venus has a different kind of activity that causes its surface to shift over time. Always remember, every planet has its own unique way of doing things - just like each one of us.

Are there any mountains on Venus's?

yes there are.Infact, scientists have used telescopes to explore venus and there are some mountains there made out of rock that are bigger then 30000 Feet!So that meens bigger then MT.Everest!There are no mountains made out of something else.All the mountains on venus are made out of rock.


What four processes shaped the rocky crust of the terrestrial planets?

The four processes that shaped the rocky crust of terrestrial planets are volcanism, tectonism (such as plate tectonics), impact cratering, and erosion/weathering. These processes have played key roles in shaping the landscapes and surface features of planets like Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury.


If scientists were to watch a planet for millions of years and see no movement on the crust it might indicate that the planet has no?

convection below the crust.


Why does Mars not have plate tectonics?

"Smaller terrestrial planets like Mars cooled more rapidly than Earth and lost its internal heat much earlier in their history. Mars experienced plate techtonics very early in its history (4 billion years ago) when it was still hot. When the interior cooled, plate techtonics stopped."- as quoted in Chapter 4 "Plate Tectonics" on page 101 from the textbook The Good Earth: Introduction To Earth Science

Is there evidence of plate tectonics on Venus?

There is no conclusive evidence of plate tectonics on Venus. Although Venus does have tectonic features such as fractures and faults, they do not show the same pattern of movement and subduction observed on Earth. Additionally, Venus lacks evidence of large-scale crustal recycling associated with plate tectonics.


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.


Is volcanic activity on Venus caused by plate tectonics?

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

How can you define plate tectonics not plate tectonics theory?

But plate tectonics is the theory which suggests that the Earth's crust is made up of solid plates moving relative to each other. Plate tectonics and the plate tectonics theory aren't really two separate things. However plates are pieces of the Earth's crust which are moving.
