This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Venus Plate Tectonics, Venus (now) has volcanic plateaus, a thick lithosphere which is the reason why the crust can not be cracked, lack of water casuing a thick lithosphere, volcanic plateaus suggests a thinner lithosphere in the past, magma could punch through which means venus used to have plate tectonics, venus used to have plate tectonics however a thick lithosphere, the crust can not be cracked thus no plate tectonics, a thick lithosphere which is the reason why magma can not punch through, Venus (now) has a thick lithosphere, Venus (now) has lack of water, magma can not punch through causing large bulges to form, a thinner lithosphere in the past so magma could punch through
