Volcanic Resurfacing

Volcanic Resurfacing is a geological process whereby the surface of a planet or satellite is modified or renewed through the emplacement of volcanic materials, distinguishing it from other resurfacing mechanisms by its reliance on magma-derived deposits to alter the topography and composition of the crust.
