Venus' surface is so hot (450 °C to 480 °C) it will melt lead. It has plains caused by large lava flows from very wide volcanoes, most currently extinct.

Soviet era probes that landed in the 70's confirmed the excessive volcanic activity by testing the soil and finding all basalts. They also took several pictures that showed rocky ground and mostly flat elevation (the cameras lasted for only an hour or so in an atmosphere that has 90 times the pressure of Earth).
