Unique plateau can be a result of the flow of red-hot rocks.
Scientists said that they were able to explain the appearance of the mysterious “crowns” on the surface of Venus. According to the researchers, the mysterious plateau are the result of the action of streams of hot rocks, which occasionally rise up and destroy portions of the surface of the planet.
New discoveries indicate that Venus is much more active than expected. In the study, researchers conducted a series of laboratory experiments. The researchers filled a glass layouts a suspension of particles of silicon that is similar in composition to the depths of Venus. Scientists were heated and dried fluid, mimicking the appearance and disappearance of plumes. The tests showed that the hot streams came up from the lower layer of the planet, and then settled on the surface, destroying a hard surface. Thus, fragments of bark were drowned inside the mantle because of its high density.
According to the researchers, thus forming the “crown” and other formations on the surface of the planet. The modern surface temperature of Venus is 750 K, and its shell is 90 times denser than earth’s.
Earlier it was reported that researchers at NASA are developing station for the study of Venus. According to the idea of scientists, they will be similar to the airships will fly in the planet’s atmosphere to a safe man. On Board Venus each station will have two astronauts. The expedition will last for 30 days, after which the researchers will return to the Earth.
