Venus May Still Be Alive Inside

Venus is Earth's near-identical twin in size and composition, yet it was long considered a geologically dead world. Recent analysis of decades-old radar data suggests otherwise, revealing evidence of active volcanoes and a dynamic interior. Discover how a "stagnant lid" planet manages its internal heat and what this means for the evolution of rocky worlds. — AI USE — All the video ideas for the topics and almost all of the drawings are mostly made by real people!
