Late-stage Effusive Volcanism on Mercury: Evidence from Mansurian Impact Basins
Introduction: The globally extensive smooth plains of Mercury are believed to be mostly volcanic in origin [1]. Widespread effusive volcanism on Mercury is thought to have ended by ~3.5 Ga due to secular cooling of the planet’s interior, and contraction of its lithosphere [2]. As the planet cools and contracts, melt should be produced at a slower rate and in smaller volumes, so it will stall de...

متن کاملVolcanism on Mercury: evidence from the first MESSENGER flyby.
The origin of plains on Mercury, whether by volcanic flooding or impact ejecta ponding, has been controversial since the Mariner 10 flybys (1974-75). High-resolution images (down to 150 meters per pixel) obtained during the first MESSENGER flyby show evidence for volcanic vents around the Caloris basin inner margin and demonstrate that plains were emplaced sequentially inside and adjacent to nu...
