This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Plate Tectonics on Venus, crust from fracturing into plates, plates by convection, Volcanic Rises created by magma, punch hole through thinner lithosphere, Volcanic Plateaus created by magma, Venus had Plate Tectonics, Active Plate Tectonics are not present, older than Volcanic Rises because more impact craters, the past evidenced by Volcanic Plateaus, 1 billion years ago because of lack of water, lithosphere recycling probably caused by Plate Tectonics, crust from fracturing evidenced by Volcanic Rises, Volcanic Plateaus are older than Volcanic Rises, punch hole through very thick lithosphere, punch hole creates bulge, magma could punch hole, very thick lithosphere happened 1 billion years ago, thinner lithosphere maintained by lithosphere recycling, more impact craters means more time exposed to meteorites, Plate Tectonics in the past
