Considering that Venus has a size very similar to Earth, thermal evolution of both planets
should be comparable. Nonetheless, there is no clear evidence of plate tectonics or plate
motions on Venus. Instead, various surface deformations attributed to volcanism,
resurfacing, localized subduction and other geologic processes were recognized on the
planet. In this study we attempt to classify the origin of lithospheric forces on Venus based on
using topographic and gravity information. For this purpose, we also estimate the Venusian …
