Description:
|
Successive chapters present the evidence for extensive volcanic activity, both in the past and present time, on Earth and the planets of the Solar System. Comparisons are made between volcanic activity on the Earth and other planets, showing how data from elsewhere in the Solar System can aid our understanding of Earth's past volcanic activity. The book explores the latest results from various missions, including the Mars Global Surveyor and the recently revealed intriguing cryovolcanic features on Jupiter's moons from the Galileo flights.
