Venus Surface Landers: Venera & VEGA

Sapas Mons 400 km across, 1.5 km tall Slope ~ 0.5° Very long flows What type of Volcano?

Maat Mons JPL Press Image 20x Vertical Exaggeration Unexaggerated … What type of Volcano?

Pancake Domes Single Flows, Steep sides Height 1/2 - 1 km. What kind of volcano? What kind of lava?

Pancake Domes Rhyolite? Or merely cold, crystal-rich basalt? What kind of volcano? What kind of lava?

? Low cones in flat lava plains A few km diam. (5 km for inset) What type of lava? What kind of volcano?

Venus vs. Earth

Small Hill Steep Slope, ~30° Surrounded by thin lava flows What is it? On Syrtis Major, a Shield Volcano

Broken Cinder Cone? On Syrtis Major, a Shield Volcano

Inner Solar System Summary What features? Types of volcanoes? Lava compositions? Similarities? Differences? Generalities? What types of volcanoes are common to the Earth only? Why? What types of volcanoes are common in the inner solar system? What does this suggest about the cooling histories of the inner planets?

Some questions to ponder What types of volcanoes are common to the Earth only? Why? What types of volcanoes are common in the inner solar system but not the outer? Why? What does this suggest about the cooling histories of the inner planets? Outer planets?

Some questions to ponder From the volcanoes we have seen which ones would we expect on which planets? What do they suggest about other planets? Since most of us do not live near a volcano, how can students connect volcanoes on the Earth and other planets?
