Venus may be tearing itself apart from within
✦AI Summary
New 3D computer simulations suggest that Venus's massive rift valleys may be geologically younger than previously thought. This supports the theory that Venus remains a geologically active planet rather than a dormant one.
Venus is one of the most hostile worlds in the solar system. Surface temperatures reach several hundred degrees Celsius, and the planet has no oceans comparable to those on Earth. For many years, scientists considered Venus geologically inactive. More recent findings, however, suggest that the planet is still geologically "alive" and may even contain active volcanoes.
