Title: NASA Study: Massive Volcanism May Have Altered Ancient Venus’ Climate
Post by: Gefn on November 23, 2022, 01:42:30 pm

Volcanic activity lasting hundreds to thousands of centuries and erupting massive amounts of material may have helped transform Venus from a temperate and wet world to the acidic hothouse it is today, a NASA paper suggests.

The paper also discusses these “large igneous provinces” in Earth’s history which caused several mass extinctions on our own planet millions of years ago.
