Venus currently has some active volcanoes with lava flows, but the vast majority are inactive, dormant, or extinct.

Venus does not have plate movement, which causes volcanoes on Earth. The driving force is likely heat rising from hot spots in the lower crust or upper mantle, as is seen in some volcanic seamounts on Earth.
