What are Some Prominent Features of Venus?

Venus topography is a description of the undulating shape of the surface of Venus. The main types of landforms on the surface of Venus include plains, mountains, highlands, valleys, ridges, volcanoes and craters. The elevation difference of 60% of Venus' surface area does not exceed 500 meters, and only 5% of elevation differences are greater than 2000 meters. Venus's northern and southern hemispheres are significantly different in geomorphology: the northern hemisphere is mainly high mountains with few meteorological hits, while the southern hemisphere is mainly flat and meteorological plains.
