Discover ancient ice volcanic shock around the dwarf planet

Dozens of ancient ice volcanoes once scattered on the surface of the dwarf planet Ceres, estimating the amount of ice material emitted from these volcanoes in amounts of less than 100 to 100,000 times , compared to the total amount of molten rock broke out on Earth.

As can be seen, these glacial volcanoes average an average of 16-86km.(Image source: Phys).

Unlike volcanoes that emit a lot of molten lava on Earth, volcanic ice on Ceres dwarf planet also known as cryovolcanoe specializes in spraying ice blocks and other frozen molecules into the surrounding environment.

Scientists at NASA have identified 22 traces of volcanic cryovolcanoe that appear scattered across the surface of the dwarf planet Ceres.

Analyzing the traces on the dwarf planet's surface, it can be seen that these glacial volcanoes average an average of 16-86 km, 1.1-4.4 km high and all existed millions of years ago. ago.

Estimate the amount of ice material emitted from these volcanoes in amounts of less than 100 to 100,000 times, compared to the total amount of molten rock that erupted on Earth, Moon, Venus or Mars.
