Scientific paper

The evidence of volcanic activity on the moon, the terrestrial planets and Io is reviewed. Phenomena discussed include lava flows and channels and (infrequently observed) possible gas eruptions on the moon; lava-like formations on Mercury; annular mountain ranges, magma-like surface rocks, and atmospheric SO2 (indicative of active volcanoes) on Venus; gigantic volcano cones (inactive since 100 Myr to 1 Gyr ago) on Mars; and eight active sulfur volcanoes and associated hot spots on Io. Hypotheses of activity on the other Jovian and Saturnian satellites are considered. Photographs and drawings of characteristic morphologies are provided.
