On Venus, "coronae" are large, circular features that are believed to be formed by volcanic and tectonic processes. They typically consist of a ring of mountains surrounding a depression and are thought to represent the interaction of magma with the planet's lithosphere. The study of coronae on Venus is essential for understanding its geological history and the processes that shape its surface. There are over 100 identified coronae on the planet, and they vary widely in size, shape, and geological complexity.
