Tectonics of the Venus and the early precambrian

Data on the morphology of structures on the Venusian surface are compared with the structural formation in the low-viscous layers of the earth's crust in the early Precambrian. The rheological properties of Venus are examined, emphasizing the morphological features of parquet floor-type structu...

Description
Summary:Data on the morphology of structures on the Venusian surface are compared with the structural formation in the low-viscous layers of the earth's crust in the early Precambrian. The rheological properties of Venus are examined, emphasizing the morphological features of parquet floor-type structures. Consideration is given to the possible use of the structures of early Precambrian complexes as a natural model for the tectonics of the lower Venusian crustal horizons. The results are used to discuss specific features of Venusian tectonics. (R.B.)
