Unlocking Venus: Exploring the Potential Resurgence of Plate Tectonics through Water Restoration and Accelerated Rotation
WaterGetting Started Venus, often referred to as Earth’s “sister planet,” shares many similarities with our own planet, but there are also significant differences. One of the fundamental differences between Earth and Venus is the lack of plate tectonics on Venus. Plate tectonics plays a crucial role in shaping the Earth’s surface, driving geological processes such
