We all know that we have different personality traits that make us unique human beings. Some of us seem to prefer order and predictability. We feel comfortable when we work on a schedule. A good day is when we can check everything off our to do list. While others of us are more spontaneous and become bored when things are too predictable.
Venus has over 150 large shield volcanoes. These shields are mostly between 100 and 600 km across, with heights between about 0.3 and 5.0 km. The largest shields, however, are over 700 km in diameter and up to 5.5 km in height.
The gryphon is cone with steep sides that is shorter in height than 3 meters and will emit mud while the mud cone is less than 10 meters and will emit both rock fragments and mud. A mud volcano can also contain scoria cones which form when the mud is heated during fires. In general these volcanoes never grow as large as other types as the largest have a height of around 700 meters and a diameter of around 10 kilometers.
