Scientific paper

The lithological characteristics of the extremely low-strength stratified rocks found on Venus at the landing sites of Venera 9, 10, 13, and 14 are examined in the light of the new geological data obtained by Venera 15 and 16. Based on these data, these rocks are interpreted as deposits of volcaninc basalt ash. If this is the case, the observable properties of the stratified rocks indicate that basalt ashes on Venus were produced by eruptions of the Hawaiian and Strombolian types associated with small domes. The chemical erosion of basalt ashes on Venus involves the formation of surface films on glass particles.
