While not a classical "hothouse" world like Venusm Beregale is scarcely more hospitable. In addition to be closest to the star Tasale, its core contains many radioactives and other heavy elements. These increase the heat of the planets and drive volcanism.
Beregale's crust is too rigid for plate tectonics to function, and the planet will go through cycles in which the pressure builds to a massive super volcanic eruption. These spew ejects over thousands of kilometers, leave caldera a hundred kilometers across, and spew enough molten material to repave entire continents. The last such event was 812,000 years ago; the current rate of outgassing from volcanic hotspots suggests another will occur within the next ten millenia. |
