Geologic 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 ...
متن کاملTectonic 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 کاملRiver Networks for Instant Procedural Planets
Realistic terrain models are required in many applications, especially in computer games. Commonly, procedural models are applied to generate the corresponding models and let users experience a wide variety of new environments. Existing algorithms generate landscapes immediately with view-dependent resolution and without preprocessing. Unfortunately, landscapes generated by such algorithms lack...
متن کاملThe Role of Plate Tectonic–climate Coupling and Exposed Land Area in the Development of Habitable Climates on Rocky Planets
The long-term carbon cycle is vital for maintaining liquid water oceans on rocky planets due to the negative climate feedbacks involved in silicate weathering. Plate tectonics plays a crucial role in driving the long-term carbon cycle because it is responsible for CO2 degassing at ridges and arcs, the return of CO2 to the mantle through subduction, and supplying fresh, weatherable rock to the s...
متن کاملA New Family of Planets? “ocean-planets”
A new family of planets is considered which is in between the rocky terrestrial planets and the gaseous giants, “Ocean-Planets”. We present the possible formation, composition and internal structure of these putative planets. We consider their oceans, as well as their possible exobiology interest. These exoplanets should be detectable by Space missions such as Eddington, Kepler, and possibly CO...
