The inner planets. Only Venus and Earth have active volcanoes (volcanoes that are erupting). Mercury and Mars have extinct (dead) volcanoes. Olympus Mons, the largest mountain/volcano in the Solar System, is found on Mars.

Where in the Solar System does volcanic activity take place?

Volcanic activity is known to occur on Earth, Mars, Venus, and Io, a moon of Jupiter. These locations have evidence of active volcanoes or past volcanic activity.


What planets show evidence of heavy volcanic activity?

Mars, Earth and Venus, certainly; the tallest volcano in the solar system is on Mars. And Jupiter's moon Io may be the most active body in the solar system when it comes to volcanoes; some of the eruptions go into space!


Does Mars have volcanic craters?

AnswerThere is extensive evidence of past volcanic activity on Mars in the form of extinct volcanoes, the most famous of which is Olympus Mons, the highest known mountain in the Solar System. However, there is no current volcanic activity on Mars and it is apparent that Mars has undergone a cooling process, leading to all volcanic activity ceasing.There is extensive evidence of past volcanic activity on Mars in the form of extinct volcanoes, the most famous of which is Olympus Mons, the highest known mountain in the Solar System. However, there is no current volcanic activity on Mars and it is apparent that Mars has undergone a cooling process, leading to all volcanic activity ceasing. Yes there are volcanos on mars


What evidence is there for volcanism on other planets and moons in the solar system?

Our moon has fields of cooled magma coating the surface, which are the dark spots we see on earth. Jupiter's moon Io the most volcanically active body in the solar system, we've observed that during satellite fly-bys.


Mars have any crustal activity?

Mars does not currently have tectonic plate movement or volcanic activity like Earth. However, there is evidence of ancient volcanoes and past tectonic activity on Mars, as seen in features such as Olympus Mons, the largest volcano in the solar system, and Valles Marineris, a vast canyon system.

What caused the surface of other planets and moon in your solar system to have a crater?

Craters can be the result of volcanic activity or from external impact events (bodies from space striking the planet or moon).

What damages the planets in the solar system?

many things could damage planets in our solar system, there could be the explosin of our sun, lage metiorites ,exterestrial invasions(unlikely), we are damaging our planet and it wont last forever


What is the Long Valley calderas activity level?

Long Valley Caldera's current volcanic activity level is normal with aviation color code of green. (Updated 2-9-12 CalVO) This simply means that there is no out of the ordinary activity currently present in the Long Valley Volcanic Complex. For further information on the Long Valley Volcanic System as well as its monthly activity updates see the CalVO (California Volcano Observatory) website in the related links section.


Is there evidence of volcanic activity on Saturn and Uranus?

Volcanism occurs on planets with a liquid metal layer beneath a solid rock layer. Saturn and Uranus are gas giants and have neither, being completely composed of gas. Therefore, no volcanism can occur on those planets or Neptune or Jupiter for that matter. They can occur on the moons, however, under the right circumstances. Io, a moon of Jupiter, experiences the most volcanism of any celestial body in the solar system.


Why are some rocks younger then the formation of the solar system?

Some rocks are younger then the formation of the solar system because of changes caused by volcanic activity

What type of activity has been seen on Io?

Io is the most geologically active object in the Solar System, it has over 400 active volcanoes. So, the answer would be volcanic activity.
