There is very little active volcanism on Venus, but many landforms of volcanic origin, such as lava plains, plateaus, ridges, and domes. Almost all of the volcanoes seen on the planet are extinct or dormant.
Compared to volcanoes on Earth, those on Venus tend to be flatter but much wider. They are seldom seen over 1.5 kilometers in height, but some shield-type volcanoes cover hundreds of square kilometers in area.
Venus does not have plate movement, which causes volcanoes on Earth. The driving force is likely heat rising from hot spots in the mantle, as is seen in some volcanic seamounts on Earth.
What else can I help you with?
What planets and moons have volcanism?
venus - active volcanos injecting sulfate into atmosphere, heat from radioactive decayearth - active volcanos, heat from radioactive decaymars - extinct volcanos, no activity in milllion of years, heat from radioactive decayio - active volcanos, heat from mechanical strain from orbit shapeThere are probably others.
Do Venus have the most volcanoes?
In our solar system three planets (including Earth) and one moon have volcanoes. Planets outside our solar system are too far away to observe, but one similar to Earth probably have volcanoes too.
What small planet containing giant volcanos?
the answer is venus because the planet has 1,000 volcanos, heat, and full of carbon dioxde
What inner planet has had volcanoes in the past?
Mercuryhttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25518217/ns/technology_and_science-space/Venus' are still active http://volcano.oregonstate.edu/volcanoes/planet_volcano/venus/intro.htmlas are Earth'sMars may or may not have active volcanos http://marsprogram.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/volcanoes/
Does earth venus and mars have volcanoes?
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
How many volcanos Venus's have?

What is the venus's crust made up of?
Iron, Rocks, and Volcanos
Why is venus called the Volcano planet?
Because it has the most volcanos.
Is Venus' made of dust?
Venus is a rocky planet with a very thick atmosphere due to greenhouse gasses. Many volcanos and craters also are abundnt on Venus.

What three ways is venus is more like earth than other planets?
-about the same size -both have atmosphere -both have volcanos -both have clouds really Venus and Earth have no similarities whatsoever, so this is the best i can do
