What planet is rust colored and home to the largest volcanoes?
Mars is the planet that is rust-colored and home to the largest volcanoes in the solar system, including Olympus Mons. These volcanoes are much larger than those found on Earth, with some reaching heights of up to 13.6 miles (22 km).
How big are the ice volcanoes on Neptune?
Ice volcanoes on Neptune, also called cryovolcanoes, are theorized to be much larger than those on Earth, possibly reaching heights of tens of kilometers. However, because Neptune is a gas giant planet with a thick atmosphere and no solid surface, these features have not been directly observed.
Where are the earth's active volcanoes located on earth surface?
Earth's active volcanoes are located along the boundaries of tectonic plates, known as the Ring of Fire, which encircles the Pacific Ocean. Other areas with active volcanoes include areas like Iceland, East Africa, and Indonesia due to tectonic activity within those regions.
Which areas are greater-those affected by earthquakes or those affected by volcanoes?
Earthquakes because they have no warning, and effect much larger ares of land.Volcanoes aren't the answer because you can get out of the waymuch faster and most of the time you will have a warning (sign) before it actually happens.---- Date: March, 20, 2013 ----
Does Mercury have volcanoes or any other energy sources?
Yes, Mercury has volcanoes, but they are not active like those on Earth. The planet's internal heat also comes from its cooling core and radioactive decay.

What is the difference of earth volcanoes to other planets volcanoes?
Most volcanoes on Earth are associated with boundaries of tectonic plates while those that we have seen on other planets are probably from hot spots. Earth's volcanoes also seem more prone to explosive eruptions, primarily due to the abundance of water on Earth.

How are mars and earth volcano alike?
Like Earth, Venus has volcanic mountains and other features that are probably made of thin, runny lava, on Venus the volcanos sometimes spew out sulfur into the atmosphere, although there is no proof Venus is volcanically active, scientists believe it most likely is. On Mars there are large shields of volcanoes similar to those on Venus and Earth,as well as cone-shaped volcanoes and lava flows, some of these volcaoes are significantly bigger than Earth's volcanoes, such as Olympus Mons, which is 3 times the size of Mount Everest, but none of these are volcanically active.

How much percent of the earth is covered by the mantel?
Almost 0%. The only parts of the mantel which cover the earth are those areas where volcanoes are actively pushing lava to the surface. The earth is covered by what is referred to as the "Earth's Crust."
Why are Earth's volcanoes different from those on most other planets?
Every planet has a different terrain and a different set of tectonic plates.
Does Mercury have volcanoes or any other energy sources?
Yes, Mercury has volcanoes, but they are not active like those on Earth. The planet's internal heat also comes from its cooling core and radioactive decay.
Where is the youngest rock found in the earth's crust?
The youngest rocks in the crust are found on and near active volcanoes, such as those at mid-ocean ridges.
Does earth's moon have active volcanoes?
Seismic events on the moon are naturally called moonquakes, not earthquakes. They occur, but are less common and less powerful than those on Earth. The moon has no volcanoes since the magma that was under its surface long ago solidified.
What are the only two members of the solar system known to have active volcanoes?
The Earth and Io a moon of Jupiter. This does not include those moons with erupting geysers.
