This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Tectonic Venus, Tectonic Venus evidence shows that Venus has thick lithosphere, volcanic plateaus which suggests lithosphere was thinner in the past, more craters than rises suggesting that plateaus are older than rises, volcanic plateaus have more craters than rises, magma punching through lithosphere and suggests plate tectonics were shut down one billion years ago on the planet, thick lithosphere caused by lack of water, lithosphere was thinner in the past providing evidence for lithospheric recycling in the past, lithospheric recycling in the past which could have resulted from plate tectonics, magma punching through lithosphere which creates dome-like bulges in the crust, Tectonic Venus evidence shows that Venus has volcanic plateaus, thick lithosphere which prevents magma punching through lithosphere, Tectonic Venus evidence shows that Venus has volcanic rises, volcanic rises which results magma rising in the mantle, magma rising in the mantle which creates dome-like bulges in the crust
