SCIENTISTS believe that Venus may have a “squishy” outer shell, according to a shocking study. Nasa researchers think that volcanos in regions called coronae on Venus could be making it…
The researchers focused on 65 previously unstudied coronae that are up to a few hundred miles across.
By applying a computer model of how an elastic lithosphere bends, they determined that, on average, the lithosphere around each corona is about 7 miles thick – much thinner than previous studies suggest. "What's interesting is that Venus provides a window into the past to help us better understand how Earth may have looked over 2.5 billion years ago. It's in a state that is predicted to occur before a planet forms tectonic plates."
