According to foreign media reports, our solar system is full of interesting worlds that human beings have not fully explored. Venus is closer to the sun than the earth, but not as close as mercury. The research on it has not been carried out like other planets in the solar system, so we don't know much about this planet. Recently, a new study revealed what many scientists want to know about Venus: Is there an active volcano on this planet?
The study, conducted by the American Association for University Space Research, is published in a new article in Science Progress. Scientists already know that Venus has a history of volcanic activity, but how far it extends and whether there are still active volcanoes on its surface is still a mystery worth exploring. This is what scientists are doing now, and the results show that Venus may still have active volcanoes.
Using the data obtained by the Venus Express probe, scientists can analyze the lava flow and determine the reaction of the new lava flow after it is exposed to the surface of the planet. What the research team found is that not only are the lava flows on the earth's surface not particularly old, but some of them may be only a few years old.
The paper explains: "This active volcanic activity is consistent with the explosion peak of sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere measured by Pioneer Venus Orbiter and Venus Express Detector, which may be caused by the same eruption that formed the young lava flow."
