{ I hope I phrase this well enough }
Does any one know the cooling rate for 'earth type' basaltic magma from the time of contact with liquid water to the point it has solidified as compared to the expected cooling rate for the Venusian equivalent of basaltic magma from the time of contact with the Venusian atmosphere to the point of solidification? Is 1300 psi (or whatever it works out to) CO2 more heat absorbing than H2O at 15 psi ? Funny if the magma on Venus solidifies faster than the magma on earth in contact with sea water. Would this effect the forms of the rocks we expect to see? |
