What is the terrain on planet Mercury like?

Answer 1

The planet Venus has no liquid water, so the surface is hot, dry, and rocky, marked by lava flows and some volcanoes, and relatively few impact craters. Many of what appear to be craters are actually unique volcanic features such as:

farra - flat-topped mesas

novae - star-shaped radial features

coronae - ring-shaped features thought to be caused by the rise and collapse of a subsurface dome of heated material

arachnoids - spider-web designs

Answer 2

The terrain of Venus is mostly flat, rocky, relatively "new" lava plains about 300 million years old, marked by volcanoes and impact craters. There are two highland "continent" features called Ishtar Terra and Aphrodite Terra.

Some unique volcanic features found on Venus are:

farra - flat-topped pancake-like mesas

novae - star-shaped radial features

coronae - ring-shaped features which may be collapsed subsurface magma domes

arachnoids - spider-web designs

Answer 3

Mercury has many craters on its surface. The planet has been hit many, many times through the years by asteroids and other objects. These impacts have caused all the craters on the surface. Earth probably had this many craters at one time, but our weather has worn them down over the years. The weather on Mercury varies from extremely hot to extremely cold. The temperature on the side of the planet facing towards the Sun is around 370 degrees Celsius. The "daytime" temperature on Mercury varies, depending on how close it is to the Sun. At the other extreme, the temperature on the side away from the Sun can be less than -150 degrees Celsius.

Answer 4

Venus's surface is comprised of about 80% smooth volcanic plains, the rest being mountainous regions.

Answer 5

Volcanic. We aren't sure if any volcanoes are still active though.

Answer 6

If anyone knows the answer please share it! I really need it for a science project!

Answer 7

the land features are volcanoes and craters.
