Venus topography: Clue to hot-lithosphere tectonics?The topography of Venus is studied in order to learn about hot lithosphere tectonic processes of Archean Earth. Except for the difference in H2O abundances (Archaen Earth was wet; modern Venus is very dry), linear zones on Venus may be analogous to the tectonic settings for some Archean greenstone belts.
