Bilateral Topographic Symmetry Patterns Across Aphrodite Terra, Venus
Western Aphrodite Terra, Venus, is characterized by a series of parallel linear structural discontinuities 2000-4000 km in length and 100-200 km wide, which strike at high angles to the general topographic trend of the Aphrodite Terra highlands. The broad characteristics of the cross-strike discontinuities (CSDs) are similar to both strike-slip fault zones and terrestrial oceanic fracture zones...
متن کاملComparison of Observed and Predicted Gravity Profiles Over Aphrodite Terra, Venus
We compare observed Pioneer Venus orbiter (PVO) gravity profiles over Aphrodite Terra to profiles predicted from models of thermal isostasy, mantle convection, and Airy compensation. Similar approaches are used in order to investigate how well the models can be distinguished with the PVO data. Topography profiles across Aphrodite are compared to model spreading ridge profiles in order to furthe...
متن کاملEvidence for divergent plate-boundary characteristics and crustal spreading on venus.
Detailed examination of the topography and morphology of western Aphrodite Terra reveals numerous features that are similar to terrestrial divergent plate-boundary characteristics. Individual domains between fracturezone-like discontinuities contain a variety of bilaterally symmetrical topographic elements that suggest that topographic features have been created at rise crests, rifted and separ...

15 صفحه اولFormation of Ishtar Terra, Venus: Surface and gravity constraints
We examine the geology of Ishtar Terra, Venus, as viewed in high-resolution Magellan synthetic-aperture radar imagery and altimetry, in order to interpret regional surface strain patterns. We combine constraints imposed by the surface strain with gravity modeling ofMagellan degree-75 high-resolution gravity data. Long-wavelength (>2500 km) and short-wavelength (500–2500 km) features show differ...
