Venus has no oceans or water rain and far less surface erosion than Earth, so its rift valleys preserve clues our planet quickly erases. Simulations show that broad, steep shoulders belong to young, rapidly widening rifts—and Ganis, Dali and Devana Chasmata still carry that signature, suggesting parts of Venus may be tearing open today.
12+ hour, 11+ min ago (542+ words) Wide, steep flanks at Ganis, Dali and Devana Chasmata resemble young active-rift models, although the topography cannot yet show that extension continues today....
