Venusian Tectonics

Venusian Tectonics is a geological framework that characterizes the deformational processes and structural evolution of Venus's lithosphere, distinguished from terrestrial tectonics by the absence of global plate recycling and the prominence of crustal thickening, radial fracturing, and mantle-driven resurfacing mechanisms.
