Geological Evolution of Venus: Rises, Plains, Plumes, and Plateaus
Crustal plateaus and volcanic rises, major physiographic features on Venus, both formed over mantle plumes. Crustal plateaus were produced by large degrees of plume melting beneath thin lithosphere. The oldest tectonic features in crustal plateaus are ribbon-like troughs indicating early uplift and tensile stretching; their shallow depths suggest that surface temperature there was higher in the...
متن کاملCrustal Plateau Collapse on Venus: Evidence from the Pasom-mana
Introduction: Over the past several years, a number of workers have offered compelling evidence that Venusian crustal plateaus were created by mantle upwelling [1], [2], [3], [4]. Recent geophysical modeling has further suggested that, on Venus, an initially uncompensated crustal plateau created by upwelling should decay into a torroidal shape in three dimensions and a ring shape in map view [5...
متن کاملGeology and Structure of Beta Regio, Venus' Results from Arecibo Radar Imaging
Arecibo radar images of a portion of the equatorial region of Venus provide the first high resolution (1.5to 2.0kin) synoptic coverage of Beta Regio. Within this area, tessera, complex deformed terrain, is identified as a major 40' geologic unit with the largest region corresponding to a plateau on the east flank of the highland. Three models are proposed to explain the origin and evolution of ...
متن کاملReconnaissance exploration of potential geothermal sites in Kerman province, using Curie depth calculations
In this paper an indirect method is presented to detect potential geothermal sites in Kerman province, southeast Iran. Geothermal heat flux is one of the main parameters to be investigated in geothermal exploration programs. However, few direct heat flux measurements are available for Iran. Given the proved relation between Curie depths and heat flux, magnetic data can be used to calculate the ...
متن کاملDextral Shear Deformation Belt on Southern Margin of Central Ovda Regio, Venus: Preliminary
Introduction: Crustal plateaus are a major class of tectonic features on Venus surface, and its study is essential in order to understand the geological evolution previous to the global resurfacing process. These regional units are flat topped highlands formed by tessera terrain, characterized by superposition of crosscutting structures [1-2], with complex tectonic patterns; also intratessera v...
