Some questions to ponderSome questions to ponder
• What types of volcanoes are common to the Earth only? Why?
• What types of volcanoes are common in the inner solar system but not the outer? Why?
• What does this suggest about the cooling histories of the inner planets? Outer planets?

Some questions to ponderSome questions to ponder
• From the volcanoes we have seen which ones would we expect on which planets?
• What do they suggest about other planets?
• Since most of us do not live near a volcano, how can students connect volcanoes on the Earth and other planets?
