Venus has a highly active planetary crust according to new surveys on the planet’s surface.
Venus was previously thought to only have a solid lid crust that did not move and this was thought to be one of the reasons Venus does not sustain life.
Researchers said, however, that Venus does not have tectonic plates in the way earth does; if Earth’s continents are like drifting iceberg, then Venus’s crust would be a sea of small pack ice.
