Volcanism on Venus | 04 Jun 2024

Recent scientific analysis has revealed that Venus is more volcanically active than previously known.

Active volcanic flows have been detected at 2 sites named the Eistla Regio region, which includes the Sif Mons volcano, and the expansive volcanic plain of Niobe Planitia. Earlier its erupting was detected in the 1990s.
Also, a volcanic vent on Maat Mons in a region called Atla Regio, near the equator has expanded and changed shape.
- These along with additional evidence such as atmospheric sulfur dioxide variations, surface thermal emissions data, confirm volcanic activity on the planet.
