Characterization and formation of polygonal fractures on Venus
[1] Fracture theory predicts that polygonal cracks will form in the presence of an isotropic, extensional stress field. On Venus, polygonal fractures are observed on scales several orders of magnitude larger than on Earth, with an average diameter of 1.8 ± 0.9 km. Proposed formation mechanisms include cooling following lava flow emplacement, lithospheric heating, and climate change. Here we exa...
متن کاملImpact craters on regional plains on Venus: Age relations with wrinkle ridges and implications for the geological evolution of Venus
[1] A global assessment of impact craters on Venus 30 km in diameter shows that 146 craters are completely or partially superposed on the regional plains that dominate the surface and typically are deformed by wrinkle ridges. In this study, we found that 10 of these craters are deformed by wrinkle ridges (pre-WR), 93 craters are superposed on wrinkle ridges (post-WR), and 43 craters were found ...
متن کاملArtemis , Venus : The largest tectonomagmatic feature in the solar system ?
New geologic mapping reveals that Artemis, a unique 2400-km-diameter feature on Venus, is much larger than previously recognized, including a wide outer trough (>5000 km diameter), a radial dike swarm (12,000 km diameter), and a concentric wrinkle ridge suite (13,000 km diameter). Artemis’s evolution included formation of its interior and chasma, accompanied by lateral propagation of radial dik...
متن کاملEvidence for rapid and widespread emplacement of volcanic plains on Venus: Stratigraphic studies in the Baitis Vailis region
Geological mapping of the area around Baltis Vallis, the longest (6,800 km) canali-type channel on Venus, has led to the determination of stratigraphic relations which appear to be consistent over this entire region comprising -20 x 106 km 2 or -5% of the total surface of Venus. The most abundant unit in the study area, plains with wrinkle ridges (Pwr), consists of two subunits separated by the...
متن کاملInvestigating the Stress Distribution Applied to Edentulous Ridge from Polyamide and Cobalt-Chrome Removable-Partial-Dentures using Three-Dimensional Finite-Element-Analysis
Abstract: Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the Von-Mises-stress (VMS) distribution applied to the edentulous ridges from a Polyamide RPD (PRPD) with those from a Cobalt-Chrome RPD (CCRPD). Materials and Methods: A patient with mandibular Kennedy Class I, Mod I was selected. The patientchr(chr('39')39chr('39'))s CBCT was cut off at 1 mm sections from the axial dimension. ...
