Unlike other terrestrial planets, the surface of Venus is not heavily cratered. Most of the surface has been covered by l ava flows in the last billion years. Volcanos probably continue to erupt on Venus today. Computer-generated three-dimensional perspective view of the surface of Venus with Sapas Mons appearing at the center and Maat Mons located in the background on the horizon.
