Which density and diameter, planetary characteristics are similar between Venus and Earth: (a) composition, presence (b) surface temperature and atmospheric pressure, (c) atmosphere cloud and of polar caps, (e) the presence of oceans 3. Which feature on Venus is caused by rising magma which then cools subsides, forming ring fractures of fractures: shield and (d) Elysium Mons, (e) (a) volcanoes, (b) Valles Marineris, coronae, the Tharsis (c) rise 4. In the slides we saw evidence of past riquid water on Mars' surface, minerals and including: (a) evaporate hematite nodules blueberries), (b) ancient valley networks pple-marked sedimentary and outflow channels, (c) rocks, (d) b and c, (e) all of these 5. small circular volcanic features on Venus with very steep sides, probably formed from sticky (v lava, are called: (a) pancake domes, (b) splash craters. (c) shield (d)sinuous rilles (lava channels), (e) terraces 6. Folded mountains occur over some areas of Venus. These appear to be due to crumpling of the cru response to: (a) upwelling mantle plumes hot spots), (b) subsiding mantle plumes (cool or cold spots) (c) shield volcano formation, (d) planetary expansion, (e) a and d in 7. It is hypothesized that venus has been resurfaced within the last 500 million years, probably through massive lava flows. What evidence suggests this?

A huge and long canyon on Mars, containing grabens and multiple grabens is: (a) the Valles Marineris. (b) olympus Mons, (c) the Thansis rise, (d Alpha Regio, (e) Aphrodite Terra

Explanation / Answer

Volcanoes, folded mountains, impact craters, Sinuous rilles(lava channels)

2. A) Average density and diameter of the two planets are almost similar.

Mean density of Earth is 5.5153 g/cm3 and of Venus is 5.204 g/cm³

When the two planets are compared in terms of their sizes, masses and compositions, Venus and Earth are quite similar. Earth has a radius of 6,371 km and a mass of about 5,972,370,000 quadrillion kg, Venus has almost nearly same radius of about 6,052 km and a mass of 4,867,500,000 quadrillion kg.

3.C) Coronae is the feature of venus surface caused by rising magma and cooling down

About 80% of the Venus surface consists of a mosaic of volcanic lava plains,venus surface has many shield volcanoes,many hundreds of smaller volcanoes and volcanic constructs such as coronae.
