Virtual model of a Venusian pancake dome shows it likely formed due to elastic lithosphere and dense lava

A trio of scientists from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Université de Lyon, and Arizona State University, respectively, has found that a likely reason flat pancake-like volcanoes form on Venus' surface is the planet has an elastic lithosphere and volcanoes that emit dense lava.
