Venus has a rocky geosphere characterized by a rugged terrain composed of volcanic plains, large volcanic structures, and mountain ranges, with the presence of numerous shield volcanoes. The planet's surface is primarily basaltic, formed from past volcanic activity, and is marked by extensive lava flows and some impact craters. Venus has a thick atmosphere that exerts crushing pressures and is rich in carbon dioxide, contributing to its extreme greenhouse effect, which raises surface temperatures to around 900 degrees Fahrenheit (475 degrees Celsius). Additionally, the planet's surface is relatively young, estimated to be around 300 to 500 million years old, suggesting ongoing geological activity.
