Comment on 'An episodic hypothesis for Venusian tectonics' by Donald TurcotteTurcotte (9193) proposes an episodic hypothesis regarding tectonics on Venus, wherein 'global subduction' alternates with quiescence and development of a thick strong lithosphere on a time scale of several hundred million years. Kaula (1994) argues that Turcotte's model is unpersuasive in several respects.
