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.
It is not a typical shield volcano because, in addition to erupting basaltic lavas, it also has erupted andesitic and even rhyolitic lava. The volcano is 25 miles (40 km) in diameter and has a total volume of 120 cubic miles (500 km 3).It possesses a large oval-shaped caldera 4 Ã 5 miles (6.4 Ã 8.0 km) in diameter, called the Newberry Caldera.he volcano is 25 miles (40 km) in diameter and has a total volume of 120 cubic miles (500 km 3).
