Tectonic evolution of the terrestrial planets.
The style and evolution of tectonics on the terrestrial planets differ substantially. The style is related to the thickness of the lithosphere and to whether the lithosphere is divided into distinct, mobile plates that can be recycled into the mantle, as on Earth, or is a single spherical shell, as on the moon, Mars, and Mercury. The evolution of a planetary lithosphere and the development of p...
متن کاملThe evolution of terrestrial-type planets.
The present internal state of the earth and the age of various events such as core formation and continental formation can be used to place fairly strong constraints on the early history of the earth and, presumably, the other terrestrial planets. The present internal configuration of the earth shows that it is an extremely differentiated body, and the ages of surface rocks indicate that this d...
متن کاملAtmospheric Evolution of Terrestrial Planets and Satellites
The evolution of planetary atmospheres and their water inventories are strongly related to the evolution of the solar radiation and plasma environment, which was much more active when the young Sun arrived at the Zero-Age-Main-Sequence. After formation of the terrestrial planets and their early atmospheres, due to the active young Sun and large impacts, heavy species and their isotopes were mos...
متن کاملGeologic mapping of tectonic planets
Geological analysis of planets typically begins with the construction of a geologic map of the planets' surfaces using remote data sets. Geologic maps provide the basis for interpretations of geologic histories, which in turn provide critical relations for understanding the range of processes that contributed to the evolution. Because geologic mapping should ultimately lead to the discovery of ...
