Implications of Tidally Driven Convection and Lithospheric Arguments on the Topography of Europa
Abstract
We present 3D numerical simulations of tidally driven convection in Europa. By associating the resulting normal stress from plumes with surface weakening and resistance from shallower layers, we successfully reproduce domes and double ridges.
