On Venus, hot water vapor rose high into the atmosphere where water molecules were split apart by the action of sunlight. The hydrogen escaped into space and the oxygen got locked into the surface rocks. With the ocean lost, Venus could not kick-start plate tectonics. Why? Because water-cools and lubricates the conveyor-belt motion between the low-density crustal plates and Earth's plastic upper mantle. Therefore without water, moving the surface crust would be as hard as running a car engine without oil. Carbon dioxide is pumped into Venus' atmosphere by episodic global volcanic outbursts, but never locked back into the crust. Hence Venus withers under a runaway greenhouse effect.
