The areology of Olympus Mons denotes it is over 20 km tall. Areological study of the planet is difficult at such a distance, so the only areologists on the planet are Martian rovers. "Geology is the areology of Earth"

The aphrodology of Maat Mons tells us that this volcanic peak is almost 5 km in height. Aphrodological study of the planet is difficult due to the intense heat and pressure at the planet's surface, so the only aphrodologists are those trying to send probes from Earth.

Were humans to aphrodaform our inner planetary neighbour, people may eventually be able to comfortably live on the surface. Aphrodaforming Venus, in many ways, would take the opposite approach to areaforming Mars: Instead of increasing surface pressure, an aphrodaformed Venus would require a massive decrease of atmospheric pressure.
