Constraining Characteristic Morphological Wavelengths for Venus Using Baltis Vallis

One of Venus' most enigmatic landforms is Baltis Vallis, the longest channel on surface (∼7,000 km long). We identify a possible mid-channel island that implies south to north flow direction during formation. However, since Vallis otherwise not well constrained, we analyze topographic conformity in both directions. In either case, topography appears be altered across analyzed wavelengths after formation Vallis. Fourier analysis shows two ranges prominent wavelengths, 225 ± 15 and ∼3,500 1,200 km. The shorter correspond deformation belts cross low plains. plausibly associated with dynamic uplift wavelength crust by mantle plumes, but less robustly detected. Higher resolution observations provided VERITAS EnVision missions can help resolve source location constrain if postdated canale's
