In our solar system? Interesting question.

Mercury is inactive rock.

Venus is fiery. It may be volcanically active, but we haven't observed any eruptions.

Earth has about 700 active volcanoes at the moment.

Mars is inactive.

The rest are gaseous planets - who knows what goes on at their core surfaces, if they even have one.

Io is a moon orbiting Jupiter which has some spectacular volcanoes - check it out.

Does Mars have evidence of volcanic activity?

Yes, they do.


Which terrestrial planets have had volcanic activity at some point in their histories?

Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars have all had volcanic activity at some point in their histories. Volcanic features such as lava flows, volcanic mountains, and calderas can be found on these terrestrial planets, indicating their volcanic past.


Is there evidence of volcanic activity on Saturn and Uranus?

Volcanism occurs on planets with a liquid metal layer beneath a solid rock layer. Saturn and Uranus are gas giants and have neither, being completely composed of gas. Therefore, no volcanism can occur on those planets or Neptune or Jupiter for that matter. They can occur on the moons, however, under the right circumstances. Io, a moon of Jupiter, experiences the most volcanism of any celestial body in the solar system.


What other two planets in your Solar system have had active volcanoes?

Mars and Venus are the other two planets in the solar system known to have had active volcanoes. Both planets have evidence of volcanic activity in the past, with Mars showing recent signs of volcanic eruptions.


Has volcanic activity decreased?

There is no clear evidence to suggest that overall volcanic activity has decreased recently. Volcanic activity can be highly variable and fluctuates over time, so it is important to consider long-term trends rather than short-term fluctuations. Monitoring and research efforts are essential for understanding volcanic activity patterns.

Do other planets have volcano eruptions?

There is some evidence of volcanic activity on Venus, but no conclusive evidence of any recent eruptions. In addition, Io, a moon of Jupiter has an extremely high rate of volcanic activity. Titan, a moon of Saturn, is believed to have volcanoes as well.


Is there any evidence of volcanic activity on Jupiter?

nope no volcanic activity on Jupiter because it's a gas giant so is Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus. Just remember that the planets behind the belt are all gas giants and none of them have volcanic activity because there made out of gas!


Does Mars have evidence of volcanic activity?

Yes, they do.


Is Saturn volcanically active?

Which of the inner planets does NOT show evidence of volcanic activity?

none. Mars Earth and Venus have relatively thick atmospheres. it was long assumed that Mercury did not have an atmosphere but a very thin atmosphere around the planet. Mercury's atmosphere is composed of: 42%O2 29%Na 22%H2 06%He 00.5%K


Which planet shows evidence of past volcanic activity?
