Description:

The Planets surface is very hot, allowing lava to remain molten for a long time after it has come out of the ground. The atmosphere is very thick due to higher gravity than earth, and there are frequent smog storms in which visibility drops to a very low level. Minerals grow speedily around areas in which there is molten lava due to a chemical reaction with compounds in the earth. The planet is also has large hollows and cave structures around most of its mass. There is water collected in large super heated pools deep in the earth. This water turns to steam and shoots up through various vents around the planet. This creates very damp humid conditions in the caves under the surface which allows a large range of fungus-like flora to flourish.
