A Global Survey of Lithospheric Flexure and Elastic Thickness at Steep-Sided Domes on Venus
Abstract
We use signs of lithospheric flexure at steep-sided dome volcanoes to determine the elastic thickness and surface heat flow. We confirm the hypothesis that steep-sided domes are likely to form where the elastic thickness is between 10 and 40 km.
