What Happened When the Lithosphere of Venus Broke?

by Laurent G. J. Montési 5 January 202115 March 2022

Although Venus does not have plate tectonics today, previous episodes of intense tectonic activity could have resulted in a distribution of crustal thickness and age resembling the plate we see today.
