ZONABANTEN.com – A volcanic peak that stands more than a mile in Venus may still be active, new findings suggest, may explain hotly debated findings suggesting that life may exist on hell planet.
Venus has more volcanoes than any other planet in our solar system. Previous research has shown that Venus has more than 1,600 large volcanoes, and can have more than 100,000 or even more than 1 million smaller volcanoes.
However, it has been hotly debated whether any remain active today, as the planet’s extreme surface pressures and temperatures make it difficult for surface probes to last very long (if any) on the planet. Venus, and thick clouds of sulfuric acid boundary analysis.

In a new study, researchers analyzed Idunn Mons, the peak of the volcano Venus about 1.5 miles (2.5 kilometers) high and 125 miles (200 km) wide is located in the Imdr Region, a volcanically rich highland region in Venus South. And they found what they thought could be a recent activity.
Previous research found that the planet did have fewer craters from cosmic impacts than would be expected given the number of craters that dot other rocky planets in the solar system, a finding suggesting that lava from active volcanoes could continue to sweep away the planet’s surface.
Better understanding of volcanic activity in Venus could help explain the recent detection of phosphine gas there, which some researchers have controversially suggested may be related to life on Earth hell planet.
“Possible presence of phosphine in the atmosphere Venus may be related to recent or ongoing volcanic activity,” study lead author Piero D’Incecco, a planetary scientist at D’Annunzio University in Pescara, Italy, told Space.com. potentially active volcanism in Venus very important.”
