The latest catalog expands the number of previously known Venusian volcanoes by a factor of 50.
The map, released Thursday , is the most complete catalog of volcanism on any world, including Earth. Most of Earth's volcanoes are yet to be found because they are hidden underwater on the planet's ocean floor. Venus, however, being the parched world it is, displays all volcanoes on its surface, allowing scientists to spot and study most if not all of them. for other scientists to analyze."I’m excited to see what they can figure out with the new database!" Byrne said.
"We came up with this idea of putting together a global catalog because no one's done it at this scale before," Rebecca Hahn, a graduate student in earth and planetary sciences at Washington University and first author of the new paper, said in the statement. Researchers categorized all volcanoes in the database into three groups based on their sizes: small landforms less than 3 miles in diameter, intermediates of sizes between 3 to 62 miles and large volcanoes more than 62 miles wide.
